After receiving their leave to remain and becoming refugees this family was moved to a new house in a new area. It was at the beginning of lockdown and they didn’t know anyone there. They had never encountered problems before so they were shocked when the harassment started. It took some time to talk about it as they just hoped it would go away but instead it got worse. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The person who told us the story below thought it may be because she wore a scarf and no one else around there did. But it was also because of lockdown because they couldn’t get to know their neighbours. She explained what had happened and how she managed to change things. Her daughter drew a picture to show how cross all the rubbish thrown in the garden made her!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The text below was submitted by a contributor who wishes to remain anonymous.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yesterday the police came and talked to us. They are going to put a camera by the front door. It was Covid when we came here and we don’t know anyone because everyone was stuck inside. The neighbours came out and talked to each other on the street but we didn’t go out because we were scared. We tried to stay inside.<\/p>\n\n\n
