I think awareness and education programs are so essential that they shouldn't be left to the discretion of individual institutions. They should be made a regular, consistent, and mandatory component of the school curriculum and of the annual training of professionals working in these different sectors. Also, we need to develop programs to support victims of Islamophobia and protect vulnerable ones who have yet to experience it.
The most important thing with these programs is that all of them have to be developed in consultation, in conversation with the grassroots organizations, because they are the representatives on the ground of potential and actual victims.
The most important thing is that we need to introduce and implement appropriate tools that will promote equity and inclusion and eliminate racial and religious barriers to employment. In that context, we know that they have a gender-based equity lens, so why not introduce an equity lens considering racial and religious minorities, the vulnerable sectors, in our budget preparations?
