Red box containing the words "fight for asylum rights"
Weβre still digesting the details of today's Borders Bill. But what we know is these new laws repeat old mistakes: criminalising people seeking safety and putting lives at risk.
We must fight for asylum rights, to force the Government to protect, not punish, people seeking safety.
Another reason we need a national inquiry into the racist riots of last summer...

Higher housing costs are linked to worse mental health among 25-34-year-olds.
2018-20, 8 per cent of 25-34-year-olds reported feeling anxious overall, but this varied significantly depending on housing costs.

Syrian people in the UK deserve the same rights as everyone else: to be able to ask for protection and have their claim considered fairly and individually.
We've written to the Home Office to demand the return of the universal right to seek asylum:
https://buff.ly/4gte8MW
ποΈ Despite almost 14 years of conflict in Syria, hope endures.
As Syrians return to rebuild their lives in shattered communities, UNHCR is there to provide life-saving support and services.
Together, we can help turn hope into action.

Over 700 organisations have signed a letter to the Home Officer, urging them to keep processing asylum claims by people from Syria.
Through our services we know that the community is fearful about their future here. It's time to reverse this cruel decision.
