In this episode, Pragna Patel reflects on her work with Southall Black Sisters, which was established in 1979 to meet the needs of Black (Asian and African-Caribbean) women, and aims "to highlight and challenge all forms gender-related violence against women."
Pragna joins FiLiA volunteer Sadia Hameed in a conversation that spans her earlier experiences to the present day, including: getting involved with the feminist, anti-racist and anti-fundamentalist struggles (and why they are interlinked), the impact of COVID-19 on black and minority women, and Southall Black Sisters' vital campaign to include migrant women in the Domestic Abuse Bill.
