Like opening Pandora\u2019s box, Brexit has revealed the conflicts that were hidden under a layer of peace in our society. There were 3076 hate crime incidents recorded across the country between 16 to 30 June. On 25 June alone, there were 289 incidents reported. It seems that we began to hate each other. Immigration threats, Islamophobia, anti-semitism, homophobic attacks, and racism are all emerging as \u201cstains on our society.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In Cardiff, a refugee family\u2019s front door was defaced with \u201cMuslims are scum\u201d. The family, a couple with four young children, are from Egypt. The father, who said \u201cWe are very scared. My children are frightened of going outside. Our house is like a prison,\u201d has been publicly called \u201craghead\u201d near their home in Llanedeyrn. \u201cThey threw knives on to our lawn- one big knife and one medium-sized one. The children have been abused at school and on the street. According to the father, the attacks started since the Brexit vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see how this country can heal itself. The UK is my home yet I feel alienated.\u201d Shazi Awan, who is a Welsh businesswomen, is also being racially abused on Twitter. Facing the hatred that is soaring in our society, is there any way out and who is working on it?<\/span><\/p>\n
