“I just told my mum not to go into the city centre because I was afraid she might get attacked”, said a Muslim colleague at work.
Returning from a weekend of seeing orchestrated racist violence on the streets, I was having similar conversations with colleagues and friends who are afraid of being attacked simply because they are Muslim or not white.Groups of Muslim women online asking for self-defence classes because the threat of physical violence feels so close. Sons telling their fathers not to drive a mini-cab during the evening or weekend.
The first response has to be for this Government to acknowledge that decades of structural racism and Islamophobia is driving this violence.There then needs to be an anti-racism assessment carried out of Government legislation in the way a risk assessment would be carried out. This has to be community-led and not by those close to ministers.As young people return to school in September, teachers need to create spaces to have conversations about this violence.
