The Stabbing of Sakia Gunn

Invisible Hate shines a spotlight on the hidden world of hate crimes in America—acts fueled by race, religion, sexual orientation, and other biases that too often go unreported and unpunished. Hosts Saadia Khan, a human rights advocate and social entrepreneur, and Asad Butt, journalist and founder of Rifelion Media, dig deep into these overlooked incidents, asking the pressing question: Why does the system ignore so many hate crimes? Each episode examines a specific case, analyzing its details and uncovering the social and legal challenges that affect its classification as a hate crime.
