Written Question
Religious Hatred: Islam
Monday 11th January 2021

Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps her Department took to mark Islamophobia Awareness month in November 2020.

Answered by Kemi Badenoch - President of the Board of Trade

The Government notes Islamophobia Awareness Month but takes the view that combatting Islamophobia is not a time-limited task and such thinking and behaviour should be tackled whenever it occurs. For that reason we continue to work closely with Muslim communities to tackle hate against them, including understanding issues and trends. This includes supporting Tell MAMA (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) with just over £2.8m distributed over the last five years to monitor, combat and raise awareness of anti-Muslim hatred.
