Thank you Latin American Women's Rights Service - LAWRS
This government has rightly taken the position that victims of crime should be treated as victims first and foremost.
This must include survivors with no recourse to public funds, who should be able to access services regardless of immigration status. #VictimsBill Southall Black Sisters
