Welcome to the Equality and Diversity Forum newsletter.
It's goodbye from EDF…

This newsletter will be the last one we send as EDF – the next one you get will come after we’ve rebranded, changing our name to Equally Ours. Our core purpose – to create a just and inclusive society where we can all contribute and flourish – remains the same. But we’re bringing the three strands of our work (policy, research and strategic communications) under one name and brand. We want to make sure you don’t miss this newsletter, so please add our new email address – info@equallyours.org.uk – to your safe senders list!

'The abandonment of black women and children is illustrated in the campaigns on enjoyment of EU citizenship rights as well as in UK legislation and case law'.
