Transcripts from the slides are as follows
Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, hate crimes towards East Asians have spiked.
Advocates and activists say these crimes can be linked to rhetoric that blames Asian people for the spread of Covid-19.
n 2020 the United Nations issued a report that detailed 'an alarming level' of racially motivated violence and other hate incidents against Asian Americans.
Similarly, advocacy group Stop AAPI Hate said it received more than 2,800 reports of hate incidents directed at Asian Americans nationwide last year.
On social media, #StopAsianHate began trending following the murder of eight Asian Americans across several spas in Atlanta, Georgia
Robert Aaron Long admitted to the murders and has since been charged, though police stated they believed the crime was sexually motivated rather than racially motivated.
These murders, as well as a spate of crimes perpetrated against Asian Americans, sparked an outpouring of anger and highlighted the rise in crime against Asian Americans, partially in response to the Covid-19 pandemic
The cause has since been supported by thousands across social media, including the likes of Sandra Oh, Gemma Chan, Shannon Lee and Rihanna
#StopAsianHate has inspired a number of protests and events across the globe in support of Asian people.
akt.org has listed a number of ways in which we can help tackle hate crimes against Asian people
They state 'If your friend, colleague, or a member of the public is being harassed, it’s important to be an active bystander. If someone is in immediate danger, call 999. Never put yourself in physical danger.'
