International Day of Hope and Remembrance for those affected by Hate Crime #IDOHAR
The 8th International Day of Hope and Remembrance will take place on Saturday October 15, 2016.
The first International Day of Hope and Remembrance was launched at the London Vigil against Hate Crime which took place on October 30, 2009 after the death of Ian Baynham who had been beaten and homophobically abused.
Over the past seven years the third Saturday of October has been established as a day when people around the globe organise solidarity vigils and events to show support to those who have been affected by Hate Crime.
The Brighton & Hove Solidarity Vigil, organised by the Brighton & Hove LGBT Community Safety Forum (LGBT CSF), will be held on Saturday October 15, 2016 near the Old Steine Fountain opposite Revenge, starting at 6.30pm sharp.
There will be guest speakers, live performances and warm drinks.
Billie Lewis, Chair of the LGBT CSF, said: “These events are important as they raise awareness and shine a spotlight on these terrible crimes that continue to be committed against LGBT people all over the world. We must all stand together and say no more.”
National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2016 will take place from October 8-15, 2016– #NHCAW
