In March 2020, Imkaan, the UK’s only second-tier women’s organisation dedicated to addressing violence against black and minoritised women and girls, published the report, Reclaiming Voice: Minoritised Women and Sexual Violence.
The report was launched in the UK Parliament and is a national study of how minoritised women make sense of and respond to sexual violence within a wider societal context of silencing. Reclaiming Voice is the result of a collaboration between Sumanta Roy (Imkaan’s head of research, evaluation, and development) and Dr Ravi Thiara (sociologist at the University of Warwick). Alongside detailed narratives on the help-seeking journeys of minoritised survivors, the report also provides promising practice approaches from specialist women’s organisations and recommendations for improving policy and practice.
