Southall Black Sisters

Southall Black Sisters is a non-profit organisation based in Southall, West London, UK. The organisation was established in April 1979 during the Southall race riots, which occurred on the 23rd April 1979. The Black sisters were established in order to defend the human rights of Black and Asian women who are the victims of domestic violence or perceived injustices in the legal system.
