Standing Against Hinduphobia in Australia

Hinduphobia—prejudice, discrimination, or hostility towards Hindu people, practices, or institutions—threatens community safety and Australia’s multicultural values. This hub raises awareness, offers support pathways, and promotes solidarity.

 

Together we can counter hate: document incidents, uplift voices, engage with institutions, and strengthen social cohesion.

Why it matters

Hinduphobia undermines safety, belonging, and the shared values that bind a diverse nation.

Addressing it protects people, culture, and social cohesion.

What to Report

Report any incident—offline or online—that involves prejudice or hostility toward Hindu individuals, practices, symbols, or institutions. Common categories include:

Why Report?

Your input helps:

  • Connect those affected to culturally sensitive mental health and legal support

  • Provide advocacy in cases where institutional or public response is needed

  • Track and analyze trends in Hinduphobia across Australia

  • Produce evidence-based reports that inform public policy and raise awareness

Who Can Report?

  • Victims of Hinduphobic incidents or content—whether the discrimination was based on actual or perceived Hindu identity

  • Witnesses with direct knowledge of such incidents (e.g., bystanders, friends, colleagues)

 Report an incident

If you’ve experienced or witnessed Hinduphobia, document details (date, time, location, description) and report it. Your report helps improve safety and accountability.
