London Bangla A Force for the community…
WHEN THE forces of reaction appear to be in the ascendancy, that is when you will see the oppressed summoning their strength to fight back.
“This is a troubling moment in our history full of immense challenges. The global impact of austerity and the rise of the far and religious right, racism and xenophobia, are all too visible. But this is also a moment pregnant with opportunities. Women and girls in the UK and around the world are standing up to violence against women. There are thriving and vibrant movements opposing domestic violence, early and forced marriage, sexual harassment in the workplace, honour killings, acid attacks and religious fundamentalism. Their calls for equality of opportunity at every level of society are growing louder and louder. We must not fail them.”
