Sima Mangal

Sima Mangal is a 19 year-old Asian activist from South London. A few years ago she launched a campaign with five other young activists called "ICFREE", to raise awareness of the racial profiling of young Black and brown people within the schooling and policing system in South London. Being involved in this campaign led to various media outlets becoming interested in their fight for social justice. Sima was interviewed on BBC Newsnight to discuss how young people’s A-Levels were impacted during the Covid pandemic. Sima is currently attending Warwick University, studying History and Politics, and remains an active campaigner, protesting against atrocities in Palestine and Afghanistan.

One action Sima would like everyone to take:

“Work with other campaigns who share similar interests, or even have more support through social media. Spreading awareness is as important as being a part of an action.”
