Black and Minoritised Women’s Anti-Racism Feministo for the Ending Violence Against Women’s Sector
“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.” Angela Davis
Who We Are
We are Black and minoritised women working to end Violence Against Women and Girls. We are women of the diaspora from former colonies of the British empire and other parts of the global south. We are migrant women from countries that are impacted by exploitative economic policies causing social and ecological devastation. We are women subjected to the ongoing legacy of colonialism, neoliberalism, structural inequality and state violence. We are women from communities who continue to face systemic and institutional oppression in a country that remains unaccountable for this harm, death and destruction.
