Imkaan is a UK-based, Black feminist organisation, working for and with other
Black and minoritised violence against women and girls (VAWG) ‘by and for’ organisations. We centre anti-racism as a key component to tackling VAWG.

We are the only national umbrella women’s organisation dedicated to addressing violence against Black and minoritised women and girls. 

Our organisation holds nearly two decades of experience of working around issues such as domestic violence, forced marriage and ‘honour-based’ violence. We work at local, national and international level, and in partnership with a range of organisations, to improve policy and practice responses to Black and minoritised women and girls.

Imkaan works with its members to represent the expertise and perspectives of frontline, specialist and dedicated Black and minoritised women’s organisations that work to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls. Imkaan delivers a unique package of support which includes: quality assurance; accredited training and peer education; sustainability support to frontline Black and minoritised organisations; and facilitation of space for community engagement and development.
 
Our research activities support the ongoing development of a robust evidence base around the needs and aspirations of Black and minoritised women and girls, as well as promising practice approaches to addressing violence. Imkaan is at the forefront of programmes and initiatives relating to forms of violence that disproportionately affect Black and minoritised women and girls.
