  • New Resource: Online Reporting of Hate or Discrimination

    almost 3 years ago
    May be an image of text that says 'Stand against hate. REPORT IT. CKVICTM/SERVICES.COM/REPORT-HATE CONFIDENTIAL & ANONYMOUS REPORTING Don't want to report online? Call us at 519-436-6630. Chatham-Kent Victim Services

    CK Victim Services has launched a new online tool to report incidents of hate or discrimination in CK.

    This new tool will give people an option to report outside of going to the police. Many people don’t report experiences motivated by hate or bias to police. The intention of this new tool is to 1) ensure that people can get access to supports if they need it, and 2) use the combined data to get an idea of trends in the community.


    Key points:

    Key points:

    • The tool is available on Victim’s Services website http://www.ckvictimservices.com/report-hate
    • People can also call Victim’s Services at 519-436-6630 and leave a message saying they want to make a report. Calls will be returned within 3 business days.
    • People can report their own experiences or experiences they witnessed.
    • People have the option of submitting an anonymous report or providing their contact information and indicating that they would like support from Victim’s Services.
    • Hate or discrimination could include things like (but is not limited to) harassment, intimidation, threats, denial of services, witnessing or seeing vandalism aimed at a person or the broader community because of a person’s race, ethnic origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disabilities, or other identities.

    I have cards with information about the new reporting tool. Please reach out if you would like some.
