The mission of Protect Black Women is to be part of an empathetic, and empowering support system for Black women in the UK facing racial trauma, misogynoir, discrimination, and adversity.
We are dedicated to creating spaces where Black women can share their experiences safely, be received without judgment, and listened to, offered guidance, and connected with appropriate networks and support services.
Through advocacy, partnerships, fundraising and training, we aim to deepen our understanding of the challenges Black women face and raise awareness to mobilise resources to address these issues.
Our goal is to contribute to a society that understands its own value as inextricably linked to how Black women are valued, respected, and able to thrive.
Understanding the unique challenges Black women face, our helpline and counselling partnership with Headstrong, are aimed at providing supportive spaces of empathic listening and understanding where Black women's experiences and feelings are acknowledged and validated.

We organise retreats, concerts, and art-based events that provide safe, nurturing environments where Black women can explore and celebrate their rich cultural heritage together with allies. These activities are designed to foster a sense of community and shared understanding among participants.
