The #RefugeeBanBill will put #LGBT people seeking asylum at even greater risk of being detained and sent to countries where it's unsafe for LGBTQI+ people.

With @RefugeeAction @MicroRainbow we spoke to Zarith, Tony and Michael about this cruel Bill.

For #PrideMonth2023 we've teamed up with @MicroRainbow and @RefugeeAction to share the voices of #LGBT people who have or are seeking refugee status in the UK.⁠

Michael⬇️from Central Africa told us how hard it is to "prove" you're LGBTQ+ to the Home Office.

It was a pleasure to kick off @RefugeeWeek sitting next to @mathildadellatorre from @conversationsfromcalais on the @skynews sofa, talking about life for refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, and my experience of working in the refugee sector.

Right now, over third of all UK universities either have the Sanctuary award or are working towards it🤯😍

These institutions pack a punch. When they promote welcome & compassion for refugees the effects are far reaching.

Our thoughts and hearts are with those who lost their lives yesterday off the coast of Greece.

No one should die in an attempt to reach safety. We need safer routes and alternatives for people now.
