No meaningful strengthening of workers’ rights without migrant workers’ rights! We're part of the 50 organisations calling on the Prime Minister to uphold equal rights for migrant workers, incl. by guaranteeing shorter routes to settlement for all. Read the full letter here: tinyurl.com/4j5325ut

For 75 years, the Refugee Convention has kept the promise of protection alive, offering a safe haven to millions of people forced to flee war, violence and persecution.

We've signed this letter to our new PM calling on the government to protect people seeking safety instead of punishing them. Policy should be based on evidence, not cruelty. Read the blueprint and full letter here: cdn-d2po0k1vdlkvv.asylummatters.org/uploads/2026...

Asylum Matters@asylummatters.bsky.social · last wk.

Hostility isn't working - and everyone can see it. Government after Government has tried making the asylum system crueller, and left it more broken than ever. But there's a better way. With 200+ refugee orgs, we've sent Andy Burnham a blueprint for a system based in both evidence and welcome.

📣 Hundreds of people joined us today for a vital discussion on challenging the weaponisation of violence against women and girls. We discussed tools and tips on how to have productive conversations with the people in our lives about VAWG and immigration. Read our guide, #NotInOurName, here:

We are dismayed by the Immigration and Asylum Bill, yet another missed opportunity to build a humane immigration, asylum and modern slavery system. Instead, it risks causing further harm. ⚠️ We urge Parliament to listen to expert's evidence before the bill becomes law.

We are extremely concerned about the update to the credibility section of the modern slavery statutory guidance published yesterday by the Home Office. ❓ But what is it?

For #MentalHeathAwarenessWeek, we wanted to highlight the impactful work of our counsellors. Macarena, our Girls & Young Women's Counsellor and Psychotherapist, talked about her experience supporting our Young Women's Advisory Board and the importance of emotional wellbeing for change makers 💜

Carla Rossini, our Communications Officer, participated in this amazing collaborative workshop organised by the @probonocentre.bsky.social. We shared ideas on how to improve our messaging and framing about access to justice and the rule of law. Thank you @probonocentre.bsky.social for this space!
