Hundreds of posters which aim to tackle hate crime are now being displayed across the North East.
Hate crimes are crimes committed against someone because of their race, religion or belief, disability, gender-identity or sexual orientation. The new posters will display the message: "Being you is not a crime. Targeting you is".
From Friday morning, they will be displayed on-board public transport across the region, including buses, Tyne and Wear Metro trains and ferries. They will also appear on digital screens across NHS venues, including hospitals, GP practices and walk-in centres.
