Refugees and Asylum Seekers

About the Issue

Millions of people across the world are forced to flee their homes because of violence and persecution, and some look for refuge here in the UK. Women who have experienced rape, sexual violence or torture are particularly vulnerable when they arrive in the UK. It is especially difficult when arriving in a completely unfamiliar environment, and many women are unable to talk about their experiences in their own language let alone in a foreign one.
