Anti-Racism Resources

At Survivors’ Network, we stand in solidarity with Black and minoritised communities in the UK and around the world, today and every day.

We are committed to active anti-racism and intersectional feminism as part of our work to end sexual violence and support survivors. As a majority-white organisation, we recognise the importance of ongoing learning, reflection, and accountability.

This page brings together a range of resources to support that learning, whether you are just starting out or continuing your journey. These resources have been collated by our team and will continue to be updated over time.

Where to Start

Anti-racism is not a one-time action. It is an ongoing process of learning, listening, and challenging systems of inequality.

The resources below are here to help you:

• Build understanding of racism and its impact
• Explore how racism intersects with gender-based violence
• Learn how to take meaningful action

Organisations & Campaigns

These organisations are working to challenge racism, support communities, and create change at local, national, and global levels.

You will find groups focused on racial justice, survivor support, migrant rights, and community empowerment, including organisations based here in Brighton and across the UK.

Exploring and supporting these organisations is a powerful way to deepen your understanding and contribute to change.

Books & Reading

This list includes a range of voices, from journalists and activists to academics, discussing lived experiences, systemic issues, and pathways to change.

Police Violence & Accountability

Racism within policing and experiences of police violence and abuse disproportionately affect Black and minoritised communities in the UK. Understanding this context is an important part of anti-racism work, particularly when thinking about trust, safety, and access to justice for survivors.

If you or someone you know has experienced police misconduct or abuse, there are organisations that offer support, advocacy, and guidance:
