Welcome to our city Little Amal. Belfast says #RefugeesWelcome 💚

If you want to know why we have a chaotic, dysfunctional asylum system instead of safe routes - this is why.

There's a lot of people who get very, very rich from providing all those 'deterrents' and 'controls'.

These are some striking, emotional words shared with us by one of our siblings, who has chosen to stay anonymous.

🚨 Sign our petition now and protect LGBTIQ+ people seeking asylum and refugees from being sent to #Rwanda , where they are subject to abuse and discrimination

This #IDAHOBIT we think of all our LGBTIQ+ siblings around the world that still suffer under discriminatory and prejudicial governments, societies and family members each and every day.

We are not free until we are all free 📢🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

We are proud to be part of this joint enquiry by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Migration and the APPG on Poverty.

ARF has made our written submissions, along with many organisations in the sector, to the report, reviewing the effects of UK Immigration on Poverty.

We know it is not safe, whatever Michael Tomlinson might say. Rainbow Migration, African Rainbow Family and Micro Rainbow all work with #LGBTQI #refugees and people seeking asylum from #Rwanda . If it was safe why would they need to flee for safety?
