Winning justice for women of colour and immigrant women who have survived rape, racist attacks and other forms of violence.
🚨Breaking news🚨 We've got the Home Office to stop using its racist algorithm to sift visa applications! The algorithm gave “speedy boarding” to white people – the Home Office has been forced to scrap it after we & @foxglovelegal launched legal action jcwi.org.uk/news/we-won-ho…
#DA Bill does not protect immigrant mothers & must abolish No Recourse to Public Funds. ALL mothers have the right to resources to escape domestic abuse. See WAR’s new film @AgainstRape @AfricanGr twitter.com/AgainstRape/st…
Watch WAR’s new film immigrant women demanding protection and resources in #DABill, made jointly with @AfricanGr. Please retweet.
These headlines barely brush the surface of the trauma and abuse going on behind closed doors during lockdown. The Domestic Abuse Bill has a long way to go to provide adequate resources and protection for the victims of domestic abuse. #ConfrontingCoerciveControl @AgainstRape
Many of us fled rape & other torture, claimed asylum in UK only to be disbelieved & banged up in Yarl’s Wood - guarded by Serco’s sexual predators. @pritipatel .@ukhomeoffice Close down all detention centres, give #PapersForAll #RegularizacionYa unconditionally & permanently.
Virtual protest in place of monthly picket of family court. #Covid19 crisis threatens mothers and children already targeted by poverty, child removal, and domestic violence. Tell Minister for Children & Families @vickyford mothers need resources to protect our children.
