National Hate Crime Awareness Week (NHAW) 2025 will run from October 11th to 18th. This week is a vital opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of hate crimes in our communities.
Our commitment
Pine Court reaffirms our commitment to combatting hate crimes. Hate crimes are devastating incidents driven by prejudice against a person’s perceived or actual race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or transgender identity. These acts of hostility can happen as verbal and physical abuse, threats, vandalism, and other harmful behaviours.
At Pine Court, we have a zero-tolerance policy for hate crime and are dedicated to empowering our customers to address and overcome these issues within our community.
NHAW’s annual campaign promotes H.O.P.E.
The national campaign continues to encourage action through the four pillars of H.O.P.E.:
- Hate Crime Awareness: Hosting events to broaden public understanding.
- Operational Responses: Encouraging thoughtful responses to hate crimes within the community.
- Preventing Hate Crime: Taking proactive measures to prevent incidents where possible.
- Engaging Communities: Motivating community members to report hate crimes and collaborate towards common goals.
