Systemic barriers weigh heavily on marginalized communities, limiting access to education, jobs, housing, and essential resources. Built through generations of inequity, these obstacles continue to block opportunities and create cycles of exclusion.
The Price of Colour is a student run campaign in collaboration with Welfare Avenue that aims to shed light on these hidden struggles, showing that the weight of the system should not define a community’s future. In collaboration with Welfare Avenue, this campaign empowers individuals to take action by turning awareness into collective efforts to break down barriers and build a more equitable future.
The weight is heavy, but together, we can break it.
