We share in the grief felt by our community due to the ongoing violence in Palestine, Israel, and surrounding areas. Like many, we support calls for an immediate and continued ceasefire and an end to the terrible acts of violence and loss of life across the region. 

As a diverse global community, we know LSE members are impacted differently by events outside our school. There are many perspectives on this complex situation. As a Union, and in our role as Sabbatical Officers, we represent all students. We are committed to equality, social justice and amplifying all voices and our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of students.  

We all have a duty to call out racism and discrimination, so LSE remains a safe space for all. We are very troubled by the increase in harassment including antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents in London and beyond.  

For those affected by hate, we stand with you and offer support. Below are resources including how to report racism and hate crimes at LSE:

 

LSE REPORT IT, STOP IT

  • Report it, Stop it is LSE’s tool for students and staff to report racism, harassment and discrimination and reports can be with your name or anonymous. You can approach a safe contact first and they can help you fill in a report too if you want to
