The Women’s Asylum Charter have launched a new campaign Every Single Woman focusing on the disparity in treatment of women seeking asylum in the UK, against those settled in the UK.
They’ve made resources available to boost your knowledge, and provided you a step into writing to your MP to ask for change, hot on the No Recourse For Public funds mass lobby I expect you all to be eager to get penning letters.
But for starters, watch this short video they’ve produced where women seeking asylum can tell you of their experiences, of the disparities in care, and lack of sensitivity meted out to over 7,000 women in the UK.
