The Resist Network

The Resist Network is central to the work of Project Resist. It was set up with the purpose of building connections and strengthening political activism, resilience and solidarity among black and minoritised women led organsiations. The Resist Network consists of coalition of ten independent, grassroots black and minoritised women’s organisations working directly with women in the north of England and Scotland and is coordinated by Project Resist. Our focus is on providing support to some of the most economically and socially excluded black, minority and migrant women who also face some of the most heightened forms of racism and patriarchal control. Aligning our advocacy, campaigning and policy work to meet the needs of the most marginalised in our society is a necessary first step towards building a strong movement for change.

The Resist Network includes the following organisations: Angelou Centre, Apna Haq, Humraaz, Hull Sisters, Project Resist, Rochdale Women’s Welfare Association (RWWA), Saheli, Sangini, Safety 4 Sisters and Ubuntu Women Shelter. These organisations directly support women and children in the North West, Yorkshire, North East and South Scottish regions. They also work within a national remit due to their strategic advocacy, policy and campaigning work and the provision of specialist refuges, shelters and safe accommodation services.
