Why do we need this campaign
While cultural diversity is central to our national identity, the reality is that too many Australians experience racism, prejudice and discrimination on a regular basis. Racism locks people out of social and economic opportunities. It costs workplaces and our economy and it works against our goal of building fair, inclusive communities.
Around 1 in 5 Australians
say they have experienced race-hate talk such as verbal abuse, racial slurs or name-calling.
Racism. It Stops with Me and the National Anti-Racism Strategy were launched on 24 August 2012.
