From the exhibition 'Making Her Mark: 100 Years of Women's Activism in Hackney' [6 February - 19 May 2018]

“Valerie Ford was a victim of homicide in Hackney, 2014. Her daughter is now one of the management committee members of Sistah Space, and we are so proud of her...Valerie and her family are
the inspiration behind Sistah Space.” - Ngozi Fulani

Sistah Space is a volunteer-run service based in Hackney working with women and girls in the African and Caribbean community affected by domestic or sexual abuse. African heritage women have some of the highest rates of underreporting and can be reluctant to use mainstream services.

Sistah Space was founded after the violent murder of Valerie Ford and her 23 month old child by an ex-partner. They have no formal funding.
