Access to life-saving specialist services for survivors of violence against women and girls must never depend on migration or residence status. All (un)documented migrant, asylum-seeking, and refugee women and girls must be guaranteed safety, protection, and pathways to justice.

We must strengthen legislation and ensure that policies centre the expertise of feminist CSOs and WSS to #endHateSpeech. Their voices must shape the prevention of and response to hate speech, to ensure that violence against women and girls in all its forms is eliminated. #endVAWG
