Migrant victim-survivors with NRPF face a stark choice between domestic abuse and destitution. No one should be forced to make this choice.
The Victims and Prisoners Bill is a rare opportunity to extend protection to migrant victims. It must not be lost. #SupportMigrantVictims
Victim-survivors need both status & support to be safe and report abuse
As the Victims and Prisoners Bill is debated in the House of Lords, we urge Peers to advocate that support should be provided to all victim-survivors regardless of immigration status
#SupportMigrantVictims
Tomorrow, the Victims and Prisoners Bill returns to the House of Lords for the Report Stage.
We urge Peers to support our amendment tabled by Baroness Lister to ensure that migrant victims of abuse with NRPF have the right to access vital services. #SupportMigrantVictims 1/2
A Bill that seeks to improve support for victims of crime cannot leave some of the most vulnerable behind.
The govt must ensure that all victims have a right to approach and receive help from the system regardless of their immigration status. #SupportMigrantVictims 2/2
