We supported Islamaphobia Awareness Month in November. This year IAM celebrated their 10-year anniversary. Islamophobia Awareness Month (IAM) is a campaign founded in 2012 by a group of Muslim organisations. It aims to showcase the positive contributions of Muslims as well as raise awareness of Islamophobia in society.
The theme for IAM 2022 is #tacklingdenial of Islamophobia. The denial of Islamophobia can be seen in different forms and is found in political and social spaces across society. Why is tackling denial important? By denying islamophobia’s existence, we dismiss the lived experiences of many and the opportunity to bridge gaps in our society.
Their vision is to see a society free from Islamophobia in all forms, and the Islamophobia Awareness Month campaign widely recognised and supported every year.
