Legislation, institutional practices and society’s customs continue to harm BME groups, Runnymede Trust report says
A comprehensive review on race equality in England has warned that the government’s approach is at risk of failing international human rights obligations.
The report, compiled by the Runnymede Trust using evidence from more than 100 civil society organisations since 2016, shows that systemic racism remains a stark issue and that legislation, institutional practices and society’s customs continue to harm BME groups. It is presented to the UN committee on the elimination of racial discrimination and is used as a barometer to assess member countries’ progress on race equality.
