The Anti-Apartheid Society at King’s College London was founded in the 1980s with the aim of raising political awareness about the apartheid regime in South Africa. This society played a crucial role in mobilising students against the apartheid system, particularly by challenging the involvement of international firms that supported or benefited from the regime. The society was connected to the broader Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM), which coordinated global efforts to end apartheid. Through its activities, the society sought to engage the student body in issues of global justice, emphasising the importance of solidarity with oppressed peoples.
