LGF Hate Crime App

To mark IDAHOBIT the LGF has created a smartphone App.

The Hate-Crime reporting web-app will enable poeple to quicly and eaisly report harte crimes. This can be done anonymously, if needed.

Darren Knight, LGF’s Head of Policy and Engagement, said:
"With around 215,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGB&T) people living in Greater Manchester - which is equivalent to a population the size of Rochdale - when 50% of those people experience a hate crime and 62% of those people don’t report it then something really needs to be done and changes have to be made.

"We need to make sure hate is challenged, tackled and eradicated."

The Hate-Crime app can be found by visiting lgf.org.uk/report from any internet connected device.
