The Lord Mayor said it should be 'a call to action'
A report into inequalities experienced by Belfast’s black, Asian, minority ethnic and Traveller communities has been desribed as "sobering" by the city's Lord Mayor.
The study also found children and young people are at risk of being bullied because of their ethnicity, faith and/or background, while lack of housing stock is a barrier to integration and inclusion. It adds: "Poverty is a real risk for migrants who work in low-paid low-skilled jobs , who are parents of young children, and who find the services supporting them already significantly stretched. Their children experience unfair disadvantage in schools and social activities because of both language and perceived cultural or religious differences which are amplified by racism."
The Lord Mayor said at the launch: “No one could deny that this research makes for very sobering reading and it should be a call to action for everyone here today, including the council. Clearly we can, and should do better, and today we gave a commitment that we will.
