A woman who has suffered constant racism since moving to York in 2015 is now the chair of a new, council-funded body that aims to turn York into the North's first ‘anti-racism city’. Haddy Njie, whose family were originally from Africa, grew up in the UK and says there’s barely a day that she doesn’t experience some kind of racial harassment. She said: “I love this city. But this is not a human way of living.”
Haddy hopes that the new body, named Inclusive Equal Rights 3.0, will begin to change that.
