In recent years they had seen their clients become the target of racism, victimisation and the subject of lies in the press. They were finding it difficult to get their message across and the current membership were feeling increasingly impotent as the political parties failed to stand up and defend basic human rights. Because of the negative messages and lies they were also finding it difficult to attract a younger, more active membership and consequently funding.
