Racism and discrimination have no place in our state.
This strategy recognises that all Victorians have a right to live with dignity and freedom, with equal rights and protection from racism and discrimination. These values are an important part of our state, enshrined in the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006.
Racism and discrimination are unacceptable and harmful. Tackling racism and leading the way in anti-racism in Australia will strengthen our society and unite our communities.
What is anti-racism?
Anti-racism means more than just responding to racism once it has happened. It involves actively identifying where racism has contributed to the exclusion and unfair treatment of others.
How anti-racism benefits our community
Addressing racism creates a safer and stronger Victoria, where everyone can take part and thrive.
