Every Single Woman campaign calls for better treatment of female asylum seekers
The
Every Single Woman campaign is drawing attention to the poor treatment received by women asylum seekers compared to women settled in the UK.
Their key demands are:
- Women asylum seekers who have experienced rape or domestic violence etc, in their country of origin, should receive a comparable standard of treatment throughout the UK asylum system to women victims of rape or domestic violence in the criminal justice system
- Women asylum seekers detained in Immigration Removal Centres should receive, at a minimum, a comparable standard of treatment and facilities to women in prisons in the UK
- Women asylum seekers who are pregnant should receive a comparable standard of ante- and post-natal provision and benefits to women settled in the UK
