Event to Stem Islamophobia 

Help Raise Awareness of Islamophobia at Brent Council’s Islamophobia Awareness Event…reports Asian Lite News 

Brent Council invites residents to join an Islamophobia Awareness event on Tuesday, 26 November, at Brent Civic Centre. This evening gathering is part of Islamophobia Awareness Month, aiming to shed light on the alarming rise in Islamophobic hate crimes in the UK, which have surged by 365% over the past year. With over a fifth of Brent’s residents identifying as Muslim, the event will focus on promoting understanding and solidarity within the community. 

Councillor Harbi Farah, Cabinet Member for Public Safety and Partnerships, emphasized the importance of the event: “We are proud to celebrate the vast contributions of all of our faith communities, and the unique and positive impact that Muslims have on the life of our borough.” He further noted that the theme, “Seeds for Change”, highlights how small actions can lead to substantial shifts toward a more inclusive society. 

Attendees will hear from community leaders, artists, and advocates dedicated to countering Islamophobia and promoting diversity. “Together, we can plant the seeds for a future built on understanding, respect, and unity,” Cllr Farah said, reaffirming Brent’s commitment to fostering a community where all residents live without fear or prejudice. 

The event is open to all, running from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and free tickets can be reserved on Eventbrite. Join Brent Council in taking a stand against Islamophobia and building a more unified community.
