Citing a case study from a woman in our network, Gloria, @Bambos_MP demonstrates why "someone's credibility is not contingent on their ability to provide evidence by an arbitrary date."

Listen to Gloria's story.

Women like Gloria must be able to submit evidence at any time.

‘All of us who are calling on the UK government to protect women in danger in Afghanistan should also be standing against the Borders Bill.’

I just asked my MP to join other Parliamentarians from across the political spectrum to sign a letter to the Home Secretary expressing concerns about the proposed new detention centre for women. You can do the same here: https://t.co/7Uf4eZjMTY… #NoToHassockfield @4refugeewomen

This govt has harmful plans to open a new immigration detention centre for women in County Durham.

They have not considered the impact that this plan will have on vulnerable women, or the fact that there is strong local opposition.

“So here we are, a nation persecuting innocent visitors and its essential labour force, imprisoning refugees fleeing from imprisonment, and welcoming the virus with open arms.”

#TellPritiPatel the New Plan for Immigration will harm women.

I'm responding to the public consultation with @4refugeewomen, using their simple guide to ensure that refugee women's concerns are heard.

I've written to my MP to ask them to take action to stop the new detention centre for women being built in County Durham.

Women who are seeking safety in the UK should not be locked up.

"Activist lawyers, what activist lawyers?"

Over 50% of asylum seekers @ukhomeoffice removed last Summer had no lawyer. Many others got poor advice.

Access to justice is a human right. These stats are a scandal. Thanks for this vital reporting @mattuthompson & @mrjamesob.

This.

[Women for Refugee Women 🧡 @4refugeewomen]

Solidarity & power to all women.

In a week that began & ended with days supposedly dedicated to women, we've felt so much collective pain & rage at male violence, abuses of power & the patriarchy that hurts us all.

All women deserve safety. This is our work, every day.

@tom_western I agree! Used it in my thesis. It really resonated and still does. Thanks for reminding me of its existence 😊

Most of the women we work with who’ve been in detention are survivors of sexual violence & torture. Vulnerable women should be supported in the community while their asylum claims are being processed, not locked up like criminals.
