Happy International Women’s Day Thanks M.Khazally Tejan-Rahman (Tejay) #InternationalWomensDay
The beauty of diversity. A Muslim woman of color, proudly wearing her hijab, brings home gold for the Netherlands. As the 🇳🇱 flag rises on the world stage, she sings the Dutch anthem with pride. This is the true strength of immigration—refugees are not criminals, but champions.
I join with Maryhill Integration Network and The VOICES Network 🧡 in expressing my disappointment at the Scottish Government's decision to scrap the commitment to extend free bus travel to people seeking asylum.
The Scottish Government's decision to scrap plans to extend concessionary bus travel to asylum seekers is a cruel betrayal of many like Vongayi and Simon. We know from the pilots that free bus travel means people don't have to choose between food or transport. The campaign continues.
VOICES Ambassadors continue to share their frustration & disappointment on the unfair decision from Scottish Government to cancel the Free Bus Pilot Scheme. These testimonies show the detrimental impact this will have on asylum community in Scotland.
Alongside +50 organisations, The VOICES Network signed a letter to the First Minister regarding the disappointing decision to cancel the Free Bus Travel Pilot Scheme for people seeking asylum in Scotland. Fiona Hyslop Kaukab Stewart MSP Shirley-Anne Somerville Paul Sweeney Mark Ruskell
