Stop Asian Hate Australia
COVID-related racism against the Asian and Asian Australian community is on the rise. Latest figures from the Asian Australian Alliance (AAA) show 540 reports of hate crimes against Asians and Asian Australians in the past year.
It’s time for Australia to act. AAA is calling on Australians to step up and help them tackle COVID-19-related racism. By funding legal action, advocacy and awareness, we can end the pandemic of racism.
Have you experienced or witnessed an incident of racism or hate crime?
Responses to this reporting mechanism will be used for analytical purposes by the Asian Australian Alliance as well as help in creating campaigns in raising the voices for Asians and Asian Australians in Australia.
