Valentine's Day is a day of love, compassion and care.

Yet @mitie and @SercoGroup are making HUGE profits from running detention centres, which cause immense harm to women.

Mitie and Serco must end their involvement in detention and #StopProfitingFromOurHeartbreak now.

“The evidence of senior Home Office officials…confirm a state body driven by political imperatives to sacrifice welfare…[for] enforcement & administrative convenience that relegates safeguarding of detainees to a virtual footnote… [and] puts cost cutting over safety & care”
