INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING: International Women’s Week Action: WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE HERE.
| 📍 WHERE: Taylor House Immigration Court, 88 Rosebery Ave, London EC1R 4QU 📅 WHEN: Tuesday 3 March ⏰ TIME: 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM ✊ ORGANISED BY: Global Women Against Deportations & All African Women’s Group We say NO to the government’s brutal new immigration policies that put women at even greater risk of violence, exploitation, and separation from their children. While the racist right wing and some politicians and the media label us “scroungers,” we are the ones keeping communities together, caring for children, and surviving against all odds. We fled war, rape, and climate breakdown—often fuelled by Western arms—only to face a “hostile environment”, enforced destitution and deportation. We are strengthened by the mass mobilisations against immigration raids and detention, including of children, in the US under Trump’s regime. WE ARE PROTESTING: The new legislation: brutal policies that separate children from their mothers, make the right to settlement dependent on income, restrict appeals and create more detention camps. Deliberate destitution: we are surviving on just £49.18 a week (or £9.95 in hotels) in slum housing. Home Office reports that lie about our home countries being “safe” when our lives are still at risk. The Far-Right: a government that panders to sexist and racist hatred. We want FAIR decisions but we can’t get that if there are no legal aid lawyers to help us through an hostile and prejudiced system. |
IN INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S WEEK . . . Our hearts and minds are with women around the world resisting genocide and the mass slaughter of people in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Haiti and many other countries. These horrors are unfolding in front of our eyes yet this despicable government says nothing, does nothing, and even sells arms to those responsible. We demand a shift in priorities: INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING. “What is done to asylum seekers today is done to everyone tomorrow.” We have the right to be here, to be safe, and to reclaim the wealth stolen from the Global South.
