Speak Up, Speak Out on Holocaust
Memorial Day, 27 January 2012 The language of hatred is in our
communities today, and is used to alienate those who are perceived as
‘different’. Neil was a victim of continual and repeated hate crime,
committed against him because of his learning disability.'I got
taunted, my flat vandalised, beaten up on my doorstep, name called –
‘four eyes, retard, spastic’ – the works’. According to a recent report
by Mencap, 90% of people with a learning disability have endured verbal
or physical harassment in the UK. On Holocaust Memorial Day 2012, we
must choose to Speak Up, Speak Out to stop the language of hatred that
is used against those with learning disabilities. Click here to go to
