November marks Islamophobia Awareness Month across Britain, providing an important opportunity to challenge anti-Muslim hatred, discrimination and prejudice while recognising the valuable contributions Muslims make to our communities.

This year’s theme, “Don’t Let It Slide”, reminds us that prejudice must never be ignored, excused or allowed to become normalised.

Islamophobia affects Muslims in workplaces, schools, public spaces and online. Muslim women may face particular challenges because their faith and identity are often more visible.
