Description:

Presentation from 2 facilitators from the South Asian Women’s Community Centre, followed by a moderated Q/A session:

"Ever since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a surge in anti-Asian racism and xenophobia. This event seeks to shed light upon the prevalence of xenophobia and racism in Canada’s past and present.

We will be focusing on what xenophobia means, what it looks like, and how it intertwines with racism.  We will be discussing the rise in anti-Asian racism, and the ways in which Asian Canadian communities are affected by xenophobia and racism. We will be highlighting mental health and other support resources for Asian folks, as well as discussing what allyship means and how best to support our Asian friends and communities during these times."
