Happening tomorrow @praxisprojects.bsky.social and the NRPF Coalition is bringing together organisations for a Mass Lobby event in London to tell MPs loud and clear that we will not sit back quietly while they push through harmful policies against migrants. 👇

Today, our Director Comfort Etim, will be attending the Mass Lobby as part of Refugee Women Connect's partnership with the NRPF Network (No recourse to public funds).
The Government’s earned settlement plans could push thousands of children into poverty. The changes will lock households into years of insecurity and risk hardship for over 1 million people who already call the UK home, including 300,000 children.

Today hundreds of people from organisation across the country will be gathering for the Massy Lobby in Parliament. They will be speaking to MPs to share their concerns about the Government's plans to introduce an "earned settlement" immigration system.
The event is a vibrant celebration of diversity, creativity, and empowerment, bringing communities together through fashion to share stories, honour talent, and unite around a common desire to support an important cause.
Strike a Pose is a charity fashion show that proudly showcases designs from fashion graduates, local designers, and unique pieces created by the asylum-seeking and refugee women supported by RWC.

In 2012 the UN passed a resolution to ban the practice, with 60% of FGM cases – 144m – happening in African countries, followed by 80m in Asia and 6m in the Middle East.
