They call it 'Xizang'. We call it erasure.
Tibet's name is vanishing from the world's headlines, museums, and maps, replaced by China's colonial term, 'Xizang'. If we don't act now, this erasure could become permanent.
This isn't semantics. This is about cultural survival.
Your support today fights back against China's attempt to rename, reframe and erase Tibet.
Why Your Contribution Matters:
- Protects Tibet's name before China's language of occupation becomes accepted as fact worldwide.
- Shields Tibetan identity from the CCP's global campaign of cultural erasure against Tibetans.
- Powers urgent action against media, institutions and governments using 'Xizang'.
Free Tibet is fighting back:
- Exposing and challenging every use of 'Xizang' in the UK and beyond.
- Mobilising pressure to restore 'Tibet' in museums, media, and government records.
- Equipping supporters with digital tools to hold institutions using 'Xizang' accountable.
Support the campaign to defend Tibet's name and unique identity.
- £18 could keep our message loud: fuelling social media and public tools to challenge every us of 'Xizang'. Our protests work. Help us respond fast and shut down erasure wherever it surfaces.
- £35 could help hold media and institutions accountable. Power bold actions that push museums, broadcasters and brands to drop 'Xizang' and respect Tibet's true name.
- £50 could drive political pressure in the UK. Back urgent advocacy to get MPs onside and demand UK recognition that Tibet's status remains unresolved. Because until Tibetans decide for Tibet, no one can.
