The Definition of Hate Crime and What the Law Says

Hate crime is a violation of human rights and a crime against the very values of equality, dignity, and respect. It tears communities apart and leaves victims in emotional ruins.

Furthermore, vouchers could severely isolate individuals with non-visible or fluctuating disabilities who may already struggle to go outside, use public transport, or interact with others due to pain, fatigue, or anxiety.
