We are horrified by reports of yet another racially motivated rape.

We stand in solidarity with the woman attacked in Walsall.

Black and minoritised women are disproportionately targeted with male violence and systematically failed when they report this abuse. We demand justice!

”The homeward road was very long, I haven’t met a soul
Now the evenings grow gloomier and colder
Come comfort me a little, for the journey takes its toll
And I’m suddenly so alone"

'The #Autumn Song' 🍂🧡🍂
