About this Event
Sikh Lobby of Parliament - #AntiSikhHate & #InstitutionalDiscrimination
A lobby of Parliament has been organised for Wednesday 15 July following the massive spike in Anti-Sikh hate crimes and right wing public hostility towards Sikhs since mid-May.
The lobby will also be an opportunity to address widespread institutional ignorance and discrimination across public bodies regarding Sikh articles of faith.
The individual lobby of MPs is taking place in the Central Lobby of Parliament between 11:30am and 1:00pm and coincides with Keir Starmer’s final questions as Prime Minister.
Please do not miss the opportunity to attend and raise your voice.
The lobby will be followed by a briefing meeting in a large Committee Room (to be confirmed) between 1-3pm in the main Parliament building where the Sikh Network will formally present to law makers the results from their recent spot survey on Anti-Sikh hate crimes since mid-May and the direct consequences of this spike in hate on British Sikh families.
This recent experience demonstrates a Statutory Code of Practice on Sikh articles of faith is long-overdue. It is now crucial for government to deliver this to resolve widespread institutional ignorance and discrimination across public sector bodies and to ensure that the law is respected and is applied fairly and without discrimination.
