Supporting the #LoveNotHate Campaign
Supporting the #LoveNotHate Campaign
Friday, 12 March 2021
Too often in Jigsaw we hear from young people about the negative impact racism has on their mental health.
We need to send a clear message that racism and hate have no place in our communities. That’s why Jigsaw is joining more than 90 charities and organisations from across Ireland in supporting the Irish Network Against Racism’s #LoveNotHate campaign.
The campaign calls for the government to enact hate crime legislation immediately, to offer the best protection to people from affected groups in Ireland.

Racism and mental health
Being treated differently because of your race, skin colour or ethnicity, can negatively affect our mental health.
