A report into inequalities experienced by Belfast’s black, Asian, minority ethnic and Traveller communities has been desribed as "sobering" by the city's Lord Mayor.
Mayor and Sinn Féin Councillor Tina Black was reacting to a study commissioned by the council, the Belfast Trust and the Public Health Agency, the findings of which were launched today (Thursday December 1st).
It was carried out by a team of researchers who interviewed more than 100 Belfast residents from a minority ethnic or migrant background. Many of those who took part in the study said they continued to face racism, isolation and poverty with this affecting how they participate in civic, political, social and economic life.
