Check our new 2025-28 strategy @4refugeewomen! It sets out our plan to work alongside women seeking safety in the UK to support them to rebuild their lives and bring about the change that is needed to create a fair asylum system: tinyurl.com/3aaa2tnt
Yesterday, we took an important message to the streets of London: 🗣️ #LiftTheBan! Most people seeking safety are banned from working, forcing people into poverty and causing huge harm. This isn’t right. As Mercy shared: “We want to work, let us work!” 1/🧵
Voices Unveiled, a powerful photography exhibition exploring the lives of six refugee women from our network, launches in Birmingham next week! 📅From 17 April 2025 📍Grosvenor Road Studios, Birmingham Find out more: refugeewomen.co.uk/voices-unveile…
📣 Resistance is power! 📣 Tens of thousands of you took a stand against the Government's harmful and cruel Rwanda Plan. And it worked! The Supreme Court has ruled that no-one seeking safety in the UK can be forcibly deported to Rwanda. 1/🧵
📢Gender equality cannot exist in the UK while refugee women are being treated as lesser humans. History has proven time and time again that we are stronger together. So let's keep making history. Join us to 💜WELCOME EVERY WOMAN 💜refugeewomen.co.uk/welcome-every-…
🚨Damning report into Yarl's Wood Yesterday @HMIPrisonsnews published an inspection report on Yarl's Wood detention centre. The findings are extremely concerning. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/h-2nd-… 1/🧵
🚨BREAKING: Today the first public inquiry into immigration detention has been released. The inquiry exposes mistreatment, abusive practices, and the extreme harm detention causes to already vulnerable individuals. brookhouseinquiry.org.uk 1/🧵
Come join our amazing team @4refugeewomen 🙌
🔔 We’re hiring! 🔔 We’re looking for an experienced trusts and grants fundraiser to join our small and friendly team. If you’re an excellent writer and passionate about refugee rights, we’d love to hear from you! Deadline: Sun 1st Oct, 5PM refugeewomen.co.uk/grants-fundrai…
We've sent hundreds of cards and emails to @IKEAUK @sainsburys and Bravissimo urging them to end their harmful contracts with Mitie. We've either been ignored or received inadequate responses. So we're taking our message somewhere it can't be ignored... to their stores.
🚨BREAKING 'Three senior judges have ruled that it is unlawful for the UK government to send asylum seekers to Rwanda to have their claims processed.' We knew this plan was unsafe and cruel. This is great news! Full story: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…
@mitie #profitfrompain by running detention centres in the UK; causing huge harm to people seeking safety from persecution, war and torture. @IKEAUK @sainsburys and #Bravissimo please end your contracts with Mitie. Do the right thing! #refugeeweek #compassionintoaction
🗣️CAMPAIGN WIN!🗣️ Following our legal challenge last year, it has been announced that all legal advice surgeries in immigration detention must now take place face-to-face. This is an important victory! Read our full statement: refugeewomen.co.uk/campaign-win-l… 1/🧵
The 'Illegal Migration Bill' will allow the Government to detain pregnant women indefinitely. Detention causes HUGE harm to women and their babies. This move is a dangerous step backwards, undoing the 72hr time limit on the detention of pregnant women. Not in our name✊
@robertcourts I have just emailed you to invite you to attend @4refugeewomen's Rainbow Sisters report launch event at Parliament on 22nd March. Show your support for the LGBTQ+ asylum community! tinyurl.com/27chppu4 #SeeUsBelieveUs
Be sure to read and share @4refugeewomen's latest report documenting lesbian and bisexual women's experiences of the asylum system in the UK: tinyurl.com/27chppu4 #SeeUsBelieveUs
To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay we're launching our new report #SeeUsBelieveUs on the experiences of lesbian and bisexual women seeking safety. Follow our thread by members of Rainbow Sisters, our solidarity group for LGBTQ+ women, to learn more!🏳️🌈 refugeewomen.co.uk/see-us-believe…
Continued cruelty. The Government's new bill destroys the right to claim asylum and could have life or death consequences for people seeking safety in the UK. We vehemently oppose this new bill. What we know about the bill 👇 1/🧵
