Galop Chief Executive, Nik Noone, said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of this important national initiative to increase online reporting of LGBT+ hate crime, and improve online support for individuals facing LGBT+ hate crime in the UK.
“We especially encourage reports from those who have been targeted online, for example on social media. Online hate incidents can have lasting impact on individuals, but people often do not report or get support for fear that it will not be taken seriously. We are hoping that easy online reporting and support via web chat will help to address this.”
