I joined Step Up Migrant Women calling on govt to #ScrapImmigrationWhitePaper
The White Paper will have a devastating impact on migrant women
Labour promised to make people's lives better but instead is pushing women into insecurity and destitution - shameful
Yesterday we stood outside the Home Office to say loud and clear: Black, minoritised and migrant women will not be silenced. The Government’s White Paper entrenches the Hostile Environment, we’re here to dismantle it. #EndHostileEnvironment #ScrapImmigrationWhitePaper 1/2
White and blue graphic with check list reads: Urgent priorities for action. The governments faces an urgent choice: to continue bolstering far-right ideology or to take immediate action to protect migrant victims/survivors. We call on the government to: - Abandon the UK Government's Immigration White Paper (May 2025), which harms victim/survivors of VAWG, trafficking and modern slavery. - Implement safe reporting mechanisms. - End the criminalisation of victim/survivors of VAWG, trafficking and modern slavery. - Fully repeal the Illegal Migration Act (2023) and the Nationality and Borders Act (2022). - Tackle systemic racism and structural inequalities. - Centre and provide ring-fenced funding for by and for organisations. - Extend the combined MVDAC-DVILR model to all victim/survivors regardless of immigration status.
For this reason, we urge the Government to take vital action NOW! #ScrapImmigrationWhitePaper #NoWomenLeftBehind
Urgent priorities for action - reference pages 9-11 of the statement.
