Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) marked the first-year anniversary of its Reparations Working Group (RWG) this month. The group was set up in October 2023 to take forward the Quaker commitment in 2022 to consider reparations for the Society’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, and economic exploitation.
