It comes after minority businesses and homes in Belfast were damaged during rioting over the summer

A Belfast community worker has said those who experience hate crimes believe it is a "waste of their time" reporting the incidents to the PSNI .

Ms Ekwueme is from Nigeria and works closely with migrants in the city, and said many were left frustrated after racist riots broke out across Belfast during the summer, resulting in businesses and homes in South Belfast being damaged. She told BBC NI: "You will see people who will come forward... who have reported several times, and nothing has happened. Because of that, they feel it is a waste of their time."

Ms Ekwueme said there needed to be fewer words and more action taken to gain the trust of people in communities across Northern Ireland.
