The South
Asian Peoples Forum UK (SAPF-UK) is an anti-imperialist, democratic
and secular forum. The Forum is committed to strengthening the unity of
people of South Asia across borders in an era of increased capitalist
and military intervention, declining civil rights particular for
minorities and women. SAPF-UK is working with other progressive
individuals and organisations to defend and extend the space for
progressive politics in South Asia and in the South Asian communities
abroad.
SAPF-UK has

economic system in South Asian countries. SAPF-UK is committed to
fighting against sectarianism and oppression based on religion, gender,
race, sexual orientation, caste, class, and ethnicity.
SAPF-UK
defends and promotes civil liberties by opposing state terrorism in the
form of militarization, surveillance, and targeted policing in South
Asia and in the communities abroad. SAPF-UK is committed to expanding
the spheres of women's and poor people's rights and freedoms across the
region. SAPF-UK joins other groups to challenge the entrenchment of the
neo-liberal agenda in South Asia.

present speakers and facilitate discussions, intervene in the public
sphere, and organize in communities in UK and internationally.
