Resource Hub:Building Bridges Combating Islamophobia, Anti-Blackness, and Anti-Palestinian Racism
Welcome to the Education Resource Hub by the Muslim Advisory Council of Canada. This hub serves as a centralized platform to educate, empower, and inspire action against Islamophobia, Anti-Blackness, and Anti-Palestinian Racism.
Islamophobia:Racism, stereotypes, prejudice, fear or acts of hostility directed towards individual Muslims or followers of Islam in general. In addition to individual acts of intolerance and racial profiling, Islamophobia can lead to viewing and treating Muslims as a greater security threat on an institutional, systemic and societal level.
Anti-Palestinian Racism: Anti-Palestinian racism refers to any form of discrimination, marginalization, or violence targeting individuals or groups based on their Palestinian identity. This includes but is not limited to:
-Denial of Palestinian History and Culture
-Dehumanisation through Stereotypes
-Suppression of Advocacy and Political Expression
-Systemic Discrimination in Institutions
Anti-Blackness: Policies and practices rooted in Canadian institutions such as, education, health care, and justice that mirror and reinforce beliefs, attitudes, prejudice, stereotyping and/or discrimination towards people of Black-African descent.
