Our statement on the recent unrest in Belfast from Dan Green, Chief Executive.
Full statement:
"We are deeply concerned by the recent unrest in Belfast.
The initial attack that sparked these events was highly disturbing, and our thoughts are with Stephen Ogilvie, his family, and all those directly affected. There can be no justification for the violence and disorder that has followed, particularly where individuals and communities are being targeted because of who they are, the colour of their skin, or where they come from.
Reports of homes being attacked, families being forced to flee, and people feeling unsafe in their own communities are exceptionally troubling and must be unequivocally condemned. What we are seeing is how quickly fear, misinformation and division can escalate into harm.
At the Anne Frank Trust, we believe education is essential to building understanding, empathy and resilience against prejudice. We stand in solidarity with those affected and reaffirm our commitment to building a society where no one is targeted for who they are."
