The Medical Women's Federation is appalled by the recent attacks victimising people of colour. We condemn the racism and Islamophobia that is underpinning this violence. The feeling of safety for all contributes to a healthy and harmonious society.
The NHS relies on staff of diverse backgrounds from all over the world. Without them the NHS would not be even half of what we know it to be today.
We urge our members and the wider public to support and look out for our non-white colleagues, friends and family at this time. Everyone has the right to feel safe 100% of the time whether that's at home, work or in between.
