<p>We are clear hate crime of any kind has absolutely no place in our society. In
July last year, we published the cross Government Hate Crime Action Plan which includes
measures to tackle transgender hate crimes.</p><p> </p><p><br> We have funded two
online Hate Crime projects through the community demonstration projects fund, these
are ‘Transforming the Internet’ and ‘Countering online LGBT hate and abuse'.</p><p><br>
Transforming the Internet is being developed by Stop Hate UK in partnership with Youth
Cymru with the aim of enabling young transgender people to come together to create
their own online narratives and support mechanisms to reduce social isolation and
directly challenge the attitudes which contribute to high levels of hate crime experienced
by the transgender community. <br> <br> Countering online LGBT hate and abuse is being
developed by Galop and aims to identify monitor and support victims to report online
LGBT hate crime. There is no UK organisation specialising in monitoring and tackling
online homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. <br> <br> In addition we have also funded
an LGBT Hate Crime schools pack developed by the Crown Prosecution Service in partnership
with a number of LGBT organisations and the National Union of Teachers <a href="http://www.cps.gov.uk/northwest/working_with_you/hate_crime_schools_project/schools_project___lgbt_hate_crime/"
