[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

🧵Our new report highlights the grave human impact of the UK's Illegal Migration Act & Rwanda Plan.

📣 No child should be forced to share hotel rooms with adults, but this is the reality as the Home Office begins its new hotel “maximisation" policy.

In our work with unaccompanied children in adult accommodations we see this happen all too often.

We stand with those forced to flee due to discrimination and persecution resulting from sexual orientation or gender identity.

Rather than criticizing the Refugee Convention, Government must show humanity and ensure asylum seekers receive the protection they are entitled to!

Suella Braverman: Is the UN Refugee Convention fit for purpose?

Everyone on the right side of history: Yes.

[Safe Passage International🧡 @safepassageint]

Suella Braverman couldn’t be more mistaken: international refugee protection remains vital and urgent, today and tomorrow.

Shutting the door on those seeking safety in the UK won’t stop people from having to flee their home, but will only push them into harm’s way.

💪☀️RYS Team Day!
A few weeks back, we were lucky to gather in London for a great day of fun with our RYS team.

Thank you so much to @InizioEngageXD for letting us use a room for the afternoon and being so helpful with free consultations for our work!

[RefugeeYouthService @RYS_org]

📣All children have a right to education!

But the report from the @ChildrensComm makes clear that more often than not unaccompanied children in the UK have no way to access this right due to inappropriate accommodation and insecure status.

📣Neither adults nor children should be criminalised for claiming asylum!
This practice of holding age-disputed children in prison is deeply harmful and bars children's access to legal advice and services keeping them safe

We need a humane asylum system

[UNHCR Greece @UNHCRGreece]

Deeply saddened by the news that 5 people lost their life this morning at shipwrecks off #Lesvos and #Samos islands; a total of 55 were reportedly rescued.

Quick and decisive action is needed to prevent such tragedies.

[Choose Love @chooselove]

43 humans have lost their lives in a tragic shipwreck off Italy.

Our thoughts are with the loved ones of those lost in this tragedy.

Until governments create safe routes for people to claim asylum, this completely preventable loss of life will continue.

📣Take action!
Local Authorities play a vital role in demonstrating local and regional opposition to the #AntiRefugeeLaws

Along with over 500 orgs, RYS have pledged to fight these cruel laws.

The ruling in this case brought by @ECPATUK is a significant development in the fight to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children arriving in the UK!
