These policies are supported and often rooted in racism and far-right rhetoric, framing migrant communities as a threat rather than centering their experiences. We must challenge these narratives and demand safety, dignity, and justice for all. (3/4) #16DaysOfActivism

#16DaysOfActivism Eloisa’s* story is one that unfortunately many migrant women can relate to. Having to choose between safety or risking deportation is one that no woman should face. The Gov's immigration policy keeps women like Eloisa in danger. This cannot stand.

Instead, with the Immigration White Paper, the government is creating a hostile environment for them, prioritising control and violence over safety. Shabana Mahmood, don’t migrant women deserve safety too? (2/2) #16DaysOfActivism #EndViolenceAgainstWomen

The govts. “earned settlement” plans punish and trap Black, minoritised & migrant victim-survivors of VAWG. These reforms are detrimental and cruel. They must be reversed.

Did you know how much UK's GDP could be boosted if we #LiftTheBan on work for people seeking asylum? People want to work, contribute and use their skills. Instead, they're trapped in limbo. Tell the Minister to #LiftTheBan now!
