At the time, BAME organisations did not have a nationally representative body that could advocate on their behalf. BAME women's organisations raised concerns about justice issues, the need for greater equality and representation, and the disproportionate impact of funding and resourcing they experienced. Their voices were seldom heard in shaping policy and strategy and that they lacked local presence in strategic decision making.
