Exploring ‘hate relationships’ through Connected Voice’s Hate Crime Advocacy Service
Key Findings:
We have been involved in research by Durham and Northumbria Universities looking into the concept of 'Hate Relationships'. This suggests a new way of thinking about some experiences of hate where:
- the perpetrators live near and are known to those they target
- there are repeated experiences of hate that are not all physical violence
- the impacts for those targeted are profound for their physical and mental health and wellbeing
- victims and their families feel entrapped and isolated.
As part of the launch of this research, we commissioned Digital Voice to create a short film about Hate Relationships - three powerful stories that demonstrate the impact that this has on people's lives and how Connected Voice Advocacy helped.
