Rochdale stands together against hate crime Date published: 06 February 2021
Hate Crime Awareness Week
The borough of Rochdale has come together to take a stand against hate crime as part of Greater Manchester’s hate crime awareness week, which runs from 1 to 7 February.
Rochdale Borough Council alongside Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and other community groups have held awareness raising events across the borough to challenge perceptions, encourage reporting and promote tolerance.
Hate crimes are crimes committed against someone because of their race, religion, disability, trans identity or sexual orientation. These are the personal characters currently identified by law, however in Greater Manchester hate crimes against alternative sub-culture are also recorded.
