Update: Inquiry into Hate in the Pandemic

72% of survey respondents in BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner’s Inquiry into Hate During the Pandemic did not report hate incidents to any individual or organization, including police. 68% said they didn’t think a report would make a difference.
If people don’t feel served by the system we have, we must find a new strategy to address hate incidents. Everyone deserves to feel heard and confident that there are supports available and structures in place to address hate.
The public survey for BCOHRC’s Inquiry into hate in the pandemic has now closed and is moving into its next phase before final recommendations for change in 2023.
