Examples of Hate Crime

‘Nobody is perfect eh!  On the bus sometimes going home, I hear them, saying bad things.  I know that I am a disabled person. But they shouldn’t do it, they shouldn’t say it. Nobody is perfect eh!  Nobody? On the bus they laugh at me, poke fun, make faces, stare.  Like I am strange.  WHY? I know that I am a disabled person, but they shouldn’t be bad. Nobody’s perfect.  Nobody.  I told them stop it.  I hate it.  Hate crimes are bad, they should be stopped’
- Hussain.

‘I used to like the parties. They were great.  All the family, friends, others, people I didn’t know. Never mind we all got on I thought.  But then, as I turned my back in the corridor, he pushed me down to the floor.  He knew, that I wouldn’t be able to get up.  Someone told them I was a disabled person.   I am stiff, my body is slow, I have to plan things. Physical surprises are a problem for me.  A BIG PROBLEM.   I was raped.  Because I am a disabled person.  I never told anyone, I wish I did. It should not of happened’
- Ester.
