Majority see tackling racism against youth as important, but few take action

A survey commissioned by the Finnish Red Cross found that 92% of people in Finland believe addressing racism against children and young people is important. However, only 24% have intervened when witnessing it. The study revealed that 81% of respondents see racism faced by children and youth as a serious problem. Sanna Saarto, an anti-racism programme coordinator at the Finnish Red Cross, said many young people experience racism daily.
