Islamophobia Awareness Training

Islamophobia Awareness Month

November is Islamophobia Awareness Month (IAM), a campaign founded in 2012 by a group of Muslim organisations. It aims to showcase the positive contributions of Muslims as well as raise awareness of Islamophobia in society. The theme for IAM 2022 is #tacklingdenial of Islamophobia. The denial of Islamophobia can be seen in different forms and is found in political and social spaces across society. Why is tackling denial important? By denying islamophobia’s existence, we dismiss the lived experiences of many and the opportunity to bridge gaps in our society.

How can I get involved?

Head to the Schwann Building and take a look at the Islamophobia Awareness Exhibition in the atrium outside of The Library.
