Islamophobia pocket guide
This guide defines Islamophobia and explains its features, then offers steps we can all take to help challenge Islamophobia.
Community safety kit
This toolkit was developed to help Muslim communities protect against acts of discrimination or physical attacks and to secure their basic legal rights. It includes recommendations for safety and security measures and how to respond in the event of an incident.
