This report documents the devastating impact of the 2024 far-right riots on Black, migrant and minoritised women and children.

Project Resist has been working in partnership with the FiLiA Legacy Project. We have recently mapped the work of small grassroots black and minority women's organisations in a number of cities across the UK.

As part of this work, Project Resist has produced a detailed report that gives an insight into the many challenges and concerns that black and minoritised women and girls face at local and regional levels.
