A truly heartbreaking situation.
Imagine dedicating your life to caring for the sick, working long hours as a nurse, only to be attacked on your way home because of where you come from.
Nigerian nurse Chinonso Uche says she no longer feels safe in Belfast after being hit in the head with a stone while wearing her nursing uniform amid ongoing anti-immigrant unrest.
No one deserves violence, intimidation, or discrimination because of their nationality, race, or background. Healthcare workers leave their families behind and make enormous sacrifices to care for others, regardless of who they are.
As tensions rise, it’s important to remember that the actions of one individual should never be used to justify hatred against an entire community. Many immigrants contribute immensely to society, serving as nurses, doctors, teachers, caregivers, and essential workers.
We stand against racism, xenophobia, and violence in all its forms. Everyone deserves to feel safe at home, at work, and in their community.
