Project Resist is an independent strategic advocacy and policy organisation that specifically focuses on the needs of black and minority women. It draws on four decades of the frontline experience of its two key founding members: Pragna Patel and Rosie Lewis. They have previously led trail blazing specialist organisations and conducted pioneering and award-winning cases, policy work and campaigns in support of women’s rights to justice and self-determination in the face of gender-based violence, racism and social, economic and political inequality.
Project Resist will be proactive in using opportunities and spaces for partnership and solidarity work with women and families facing injustice across social and racial divides. Without losing sight of the specificities of our experiences as women, our aim is to find ways of forging connections and supporting each other in recognition of the urgent need to develop shared political values and to move away from the divisive and destructive aspects of identity politics.
