Reform claims it is concerned about women's safety, but mass detention and deportation would only do them harm writes Carenza Arnold @4refugeewomen.bsky.social

Nigel Farage’s weaponisation of women’s safety to further his anti-immigration stance is harmful to us all
'To use women’s lives as a political prop while simultaneously advocating for politics that would harm them is hypocrisy at its ugliest.'

Rather than, repeatedly, saying they "understand" the concerns of far right agitators, and using the same rhetoric against migrants in general, this government needs to be calling them out and supporting charities before more people get hurt.

It is an absolute tactic of the far-right to try and stop us from doing this work. That is the time that more people need to step in. Sign up to an org you admire, donate, volunteer your hours. They actually can't stop us all.

One year on from the riots, the question we must ask ourselves is simple: whose voices do we listen to - those who incite fear, or those who ask for refuge?

The answer will define who we are.

📣 FIRST POST ALERT 📣: I pretty much gave up on Twitter a while ago - tweeting less and less in recent years - but once it was a place which brought me joy (& some anguish). It was a place I could share articles I wrote, as well as my own observations about life: some tweets funnier than others.

Our friend has just a few days left to raise enough money for her appeal.

As a human rights activist, she was imprisoned and tortured in her home country.

Instead of finding safety in the UK, she was further harmed by the UK’s asylum process.

Our friend, a human rights activist, had to flee her country after being tortured and imprisoned.

Upon arriving in the UK, she was sent to prison for an immigration offence, instead of being offered safety.

She isn’t eligible for legal aid, so every little helps.

Pls share!

📢 The Government has promised to prioritise survivors of gender-based violence.

Women seeking safety MUST be included in this promise.

Otherwise, they will be treated as less deserving.

Spread joy to refugee women this winter: refugeewomen.co.uk/festive-joy/

Refugee women have already survived so much.

They have fled war, violence and other torture, only to be met with racism, poverty and isolation upon arriving in the UK.
