Labour has won the UK General Election: Refugee women have a message for the new Government.

Refugee and asylum-seeking women from our network have a message for the new Government:
🗣️"Congratulations on winning the election, we look forward to working with you."⁣ ⁣
🗣️"You now have the chance to make a difference."⁣ ⁣
🗣️"Let us work, let us heal."⁣ ⁣
🗣️"Hear our experiences and hear our calls for change, then you can truly make a difference."⁣ ⁣
We urge the new Government to be bold and brave and to move away from the dangerous and dehumanising debate on asylum and migration. ⁣
Instead, the Labour Government should focus on building a fair and compassionate asylum system in the UK that treats people seeking safety in the UK with dignity and respect. ⁣
⁣ We know there’s still challenges ahead. But there is an alternative.
So, as we welcome a new Government with all the promise and hope that it brings, we call on all our new political leaders to #WelcomeEveryWoman.⁣ ⁣
