About us

We are a loose coalition of women's organisations and individual women set up in London UK. We grew out of a meeting held in London on 23 Jan 2013 in solidarity with the anti-rape movement in India, taking our name from one of the slogans of the anti-rape movement in India, Bekhauf Azadi. Freedom Without Fear Platform was formed to provide an arena for Black, South Asian and 'Minority Ethnic' women to lead discussions on the violence against women and girls; to highlight the co-opting of violence against women and girls issues by various groups who seek to further their own racist and imperialist agendas; and to expose the implicit and explicit violence against women and girls in the economic policies imposed by international financial institutions and governments.
