Welcome Every Woman
Every woman who has been forced to cross borders for her safety deserves a fair hearing and a chance to rebuild her life.
But the in-built inhumanity of the UK’s asylum process means that – right here, right now – the world’s most vulnerable women are disbelieved by default, heartlessly detained at random and are often left to ‘live’ in atrocious accommodation. This includes a total lack of support for LGBTQ+ refugee women.
Applications for refugee and asylum status can take years in the UK as a result of a system that has been purposefully built to break people.
This isn’t just wrong, it’s shameful. And the UK’s asylum policies are only getting more cruel, more extreme and more unsafe for women, especially those who identify as LGBTQ+.
This is no longer about fair or unfair – it’s about life or death.
The UK needs to Welcome Every Woman, so support our work and campaign for refugee women.
