I recently moved to Salisbury, and although it is rich in history and a magnet for tourists, I quickly noticed a surprising gap in inclusive spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. The support here feels more like a whisper than a shout - as you walk around town, you may notice a discreet sticker in the window of a cafe if you’re lucky, but Pride month went by without a single parade or rainbow-adorned street in sight. 

In most places where I have lived (excluding London), you would usually stumble upon a vibrant queer space and community, which is why I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered B.U. Youth Group. 

Women and girls across the United Kingdom face abuse and inequality each day.

Many things must happen simultaneously when immigrants and asylum seekers reach the American border.

For some, to believe we still have some way to go in terms of equality is the most ludicrous opinion you can have.

I hope you saw my first piece on this subject, if not check it out! This is part two: how to deal with micro-aggressions.

To be honest I am black, but I had never heard the term micro-aggression until the BLM – Black Lives Matter movement burst onto the scene again, during the horrendous killing of George Floyd in America.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a woke woman engrained in a culture where women are told to be silent, to be seen and not heard?

Last month, we wrote about period poverty and menstrual health focusing on the current situation in the UK. Similar research projects were completed in North Macedonia and Croatia where, especially between the female population, the poverty gap huge.

Certain words provoke cold sweat, chest tightening or eyes-rolling. Some terms almost guarantee a reaction.

With everything going on in our world today many of us want to help, but don’t know exactly how to do that. There are several articles that teach how to be an anti-racist, but not enough talk bout how not to.

I was a twenty six year old half-English, half-Asian Manc when I discovered that people casually use the derogatory C-word, to refer to Chinese takeaways and restaurants. I could not believe what I was seeing.

Instead of bringing my white, privileged, opinions into this space, I decided the best way that we at The C Word could join this conversation, and keep momentum going for the Black Lives Matter movement is to share invaluable resources with you all.
