WE DEMAND THAT
– We are recognised as mothers, with dependent children
– When the government grants amnesty (the right to stay
without having to establish a fear of persecution) to families
with children here, that we, together with our children back
home, must also have a right to family amnesty. Though we
are divided, we are a family.
– Everyone who wins the right to stay in the UK, no matter
under which law or convention, must have the
unconditional right to family reunion.
– Children should have the right to join their mother or father
even if they turned 18 before their parents’ asylum claim
was settled.
we urge british embassies
And commissions in our home countries to show their commitment to families by helping to find our missing children and reunite them with their mothers.
“Mummy, you are the only person I have to save me from
everything I’m going through. Thomas screams every
night. . . . I don’t even know what to say about Michael
but he’s a baby boy who needs his mummy right now.”
Letter from a teenage girl whose mother was forced
to leave her four children behind.
