Racial
Harassment is violence which may be verbal or physical.
It may be attack on people or property because of the
race, colour, nationality, religion, and ethnicity. It
includes racial jokes, snide remarks or name calling.
Racial incidents are very serious and should be dealt
appropriately; many incidents don’t get reported so it
makes it difficult to address the issues.
If you have suffered or encountered any form of racial
harassment, abuse, no matter how small you can report it
to us or to the Police.
If you have been subjected to discrimination because of
your race, religion or gender. Do not suffer in silence,
report it now!
We have helped to successfully prosecute individuals,
employers, businesses who have breached this policy.
Below are
two examples of cases TACMEP have been involved in.
Harassment - At Work
One lady of African origin was
verbally abused by colleagues at work because of
her colour and background.
How We Helped
TACMEP supported her in taking
legal action against her employers who were
prosecuted and the lady was compensated. Tacmep supported an Asian
gentleman and his family who became a target by
neighbours. They were constantly harassed and
racially abused for almost 4 years.
How We Helped
CCTV was fitted outside the
house for protection and evidence. After many
more months of meetings with local authorities
and legal teams, the family was finally
re-housed elsewhere and the neighbours
prosecuted.
