Website Helps Sikh Children Facing Harassment

India Journal, Posted: Oct 21, 2007

NEW YORK -- Sikh children facing harassment can find resources for help from a new website, reports India Journal. "Khalsakids.org” was launched after it was found that 75 percent of Sikh students in Queens in New York City face some kind of harassment, usually because of religious symbols they wear like the turban. The Sikh Coalition has launched the site to help Sikh children find others of their age to chat with. Teachers are invited to use the site to find out more about Sikhism. The site also documents hate crimes against Sikh children.
