]]>Islamophobia Awareness Month (IAM) was co-founded by MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development) with other British organisations in 2012 to deconstruct and challenge the stereotypes about Islam and Muslims.
The campaign, held every November, aims to work with Police and Crime Commissioners (PCC), local councils, journalists, local media outlets, councillors, local MPs, mosques, universities, schools, community organisations and others to raise awareness of the threat of Islamophobia and encourage better reporting of incidents to the police.
IAM raises awareness within society of how Muslims are discriminated against in various spheres, along with providing information on the positive contributions of British Muslims to the UK.
It helps break down barriers and challenge incorrect stereotypes people may hold about Muslims, as well as providing an avenue for people of other backgrounds to engage with Muslims.
IAM also highlights why it is crucial for Muslims to report Islamophobic hate crimes to authorities, for accurate data to be collected and for policy changes to be enacted accordingly.
Carramea thanks Miqdaad Versi of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) for making Miqdaad’s slide show, presented during the Harrow Council event, available to the community.

]]>Today too workers can face unsafe working conditions due to Covid-19 and employers who want to reduce their wages and holiday, sickness and pension arrangements.
Trade Unions can represent you at work and provide you with free legal advice. And of course the more that workers are united the stronger their bargaining position is!
You have a legal right to join a union. It’s illegal for an employer to disadvantage you because you are a union member.
More than 5.5 million people are in a union – from nurses to checkout assistants to lorry drivers to airline pilots, teachers and civil servants.
For details of a Trade Union that represents workers in your occupation:

If you need any help with this, Carramea will help you!
