Coming to Europe to work via regular routes is no easy task. Work permits are few, and those that exist are often so restrictive that they leave migrant workers at the mercy of exploitative employers. Check out our new animation to see how decent work permits benefit everyone.

The Government wants to rip up our #HumanRightsAct. They want more power for them and fewer rights for you. If enough of us take a stand we can stop them. Speak up to #SaveYourRights

Last year, the Home Office announced the development of an Immigration Enforcement Migrant Victims Protocol in response to the data-sharing super-complaint. In this blog, together with FLEX, we reflect on why this is not a suitable solution. lawrs.org.uk/blog/2022/05/1…

The Govt announced they’ll ratify #IstanbulConvention but opt out of key support for migrant women. Ask your MP to attend our Parliamentary Photocall to call on the Govt to ratify w/out reservations & protect ALL women from violence icchange.co.uk/allwomen #AllWomenMeansAllWomen

Preventing victims/survivors from accessing life-saving support is cruel and discriminatory. The #HostileEnvironment harms women in urgent need of help. Adriana shared her story calling for change and equal access to rights for migrant women. #StepUpMigrantWomen

Ratifying the #IstanbulConvention reserving an article on residence status for migrant women contradicts the govt’s commitment to tackling VAWG. It shows a lack of understanding of how immigration status is a risk factor for experiencing gender-based abuse. #AllWomenMeansAllWomen

🧵We celebrate the ratification of the Istanbul Convention. However, by reserving article 59, the Government sends a concerning message that the lives of migrant women are not worthy of being protected without discrimination. 1/3

The #VictimsBill was hurriedly finalised in parliament today. Despite promises that this long-awaited Bill would improve access to justice and support for all victims of crime, we cannot celebrate its passage towards becoming an Act because it fails to protect migrant women. 1/8
