RAW is StopWatch’s exciting new ‘Rights and Wellbeing’ project, aimed at providing resources, group workshops, and individual support to equip individuals with the knowledge of preventing and reducing harm from police encounters, while also addressing the broader impacts of stop and search by providing therapeutic support to help people process and deal with its after-effects.
