Birmingham Racial Attack Monitoring Unit (BRAMU)

The Birmingham Racial Attack Monitoring Unit (BRAMU) was established by the Home Office Inter-departmental Report in 1989. BRAMU is an independent community based organisation working with victims of racial harassment. We seek to educate and empower victims of racial attack and harassment through a support system.
The Race Relations Act 1976 (as amended) is the single, most effective tool to combat racism. Racial grounds include, race, colour, nationality, or ethnic or national or religious grounds.
Racial discrimination can arise in many disguises. For example,

  • Verbal abuse or physical violence or graffiti;
  • Exlusion, bullying or victimisation;
  • Harrassment and threatening behaviour;
  • Any other incident you feel is racially motivated

Racial discrimination or harassment can occur anywhere for example, within the provisions of education, employment, health, housing and within service provisions. BRAMU has the experience of working with victims of racial harassment over 15 years and offers a combination of tangible support and practical advice service by utilizing race relations legislation and BRAMU’S knowledge and experience in combating racism at all levels.
