WHO WE ARE
The Rights Collective is a group of South Asian women who are looking to tackle the distinct and often subtle ways in which disempowerment, inequality, trauma and harm manifests within the South Asian diaspora community in the U.K..
Women and individuals with other marginalised identities (often based on caste, sexuality and gender, for example) are likely to have less power and face violent forms of discrimination from within and outside of our community. At The Rights Collective, we believe it is our duty to dismantle and subvert some of these norms within our own spaces.

FROM OUR TEAM
"I've always worked in the gender rights space and I thought 'why am I not also working to address the stark inequalities in my own community in the UK?' That's how The Rights Collective came about."
— Nishma Jethwa, Human Rights Lawyer & Gender Justice Activist
