We support a network of over 300 refugee and asylum-seeking women to rebuild their lives. We do this through running creative and educational activities, as well as supporting women in detention with urgent necessities such as phone credit and hygiene products.

Beneficiaries
Situation
The women we support are seeking safety in the UK from war, persecution, gender-based and sexual violence, rape and other torture. Once arriving in the UK, many asylum-seeking women are placed in temporary accommodation or detained in inhumane conditions and are unable to heal and rebuild their lives in the UK. Refugee and asylum-seeking women experience poverty, disbelief, isolation, poor mental and physical health and prejudice.
Solution
Through high-quality creative and educational activities (such as our drama group and English lessons), legal advice and hardship support, refugee and asylum-seeking women in our network are able to form a community, learn new skills and rebuild their lives. Some of the women in our network are currently locked up in immigration detention. We provide women in detention with vital hardship support such as phone credit so they can call their loved ones and financial support for necessities.
