Birthmark of Africa® is a UK human rights and climate change research organisation. As a group of researchers, campaigners and scholars, each dedicated to exploring disparities and human rights violations faced by people of African descent, we formed Birthmark of Africa® in 2018. Our research disciplines range from Human and Social Sciences, Humanities and Film Studies. Birthmark of Africa® has identified that people of African descent who can be physically, culturally and verbally identified as such, are treated unfairly and discriminated against simply because of the colour of their skin. Our mission is to develop existing research and knowledge surrounding current disparities and human rights violations faced by people of African descent and, with this knowledge, influence change. At Birthmark of Africa® we firmly believe that each of us, no matter our race, is originally African by descent and therefore bear the 'Birthmark of Africa'. Our aim is to ensure that this great 'Birthmark of Africa' is universally recognised, honoured and appreciated.
