Family unity is a universally acknowledged right. Family Reunion allows refugee families that have been torn apart by war & persecution to reunite in a regular, safe & managed way. It aids integration, promotes well-being & encourages self-reliance. www.unhcr.org/uk/refugee-f...

Three lives lost last night in the Channel. No one should have to risk death to seek safety. Yet many are left with no other choice. 📣We need safe routes now #saferoutes #refugeeswelcome

📣 Reminder: Refugees welcome, always!

🗝️ Belonging is the key to #Dignity New UK measures block #Citizenship for those arriving by 'irregular' routes. This breaches international law and justice. Citizenship = dignity, stability and home. We stand against this unjust ban. #RightToBelong #HumanRights

🚨The UK has suspended all new Refugee #FamilyReunion applications, one of the few #SafeRoutes for people fleeing. This cruelty keeps families apart. 📢We support our partners calling on the government to restore family reunion & expand safe routes.

On the 3rd September 1953, the #ECHR came into force. Today, let's be proud of the commitment the UK has shown to peace and human rights. A #BritishLegacy, the ECHR was... 👉 Written by British lawyer David Maxwell-Fyfe 👉 Supported by Churchill 👉 Helped to rebuild a peaceful continent after WWII

#SanctuaryForAll speaks not just of refuge, but of shared humanity & a future where every person seeking safety finds welcome, belonging & dignity. As this stunning piece reminds us, offering sanctuary isn't a privilege; it’s our collective promise🧡 #RefugeesWelcome

After years of advocating for family reunification, today Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has suspended all family reunification applications. As she has pointed out many times before, this announcement will drive more people into the arms of smugglers. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

No one wants to be locked up, not knowing when they will be released. Yet, hundreds of people seeking safety and fleeing persecution are kept in dehumanising conditions. #Detention is not the answer. #Refugees need #CompassionNotCruelty 🔗 news.sky.com/story/sir-ke...

Small boats, big myths: why #WomenSafety and #HumanRights deserve more attention Jonathan Metzer, a barrister who specialises in human rights law, Chair of René Cassin, spoke to Gilly Hope on BBC Radio Newcastle last Sunday to discuss this very topic. 👇👇👇 northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

Today's new immigration statistics show that 57% of people arriving by small boat come from just 5 countries: Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran, Syria, Sudan. These nationalities all face war or persecution. Yet none have a meaningful safe route here. It's clear: there's a vital need for new pathways.

🚨#NotInOurName We have proudly joined 200 organisations to urge the Government to address the dangerous weaponisation of VAWG being hijacked by an anti-migration agenda. The Government has pledged to halve VAWG, but it cannot be done while refugee women are not protected.

📕Book Recommendation📕 In this revealing exposé, Kate Garbers shares moving stories of survivors through over a decade of anti-slavery work & how it continues by our current laws & systems. #UnseenLives provides a vision of hope for those looking to challenge #ModernSlavery @unseenuk.bsky.social

Today, we join over 200 orgs to call for communities & the country to be brought together for a different way forward – one that's compassionate & united. This must be a turning point. #TogetherWithRefugees @refugeestogether.bsky.social

We are appalled at the government releasing footage of people seeking asylum being taken in handcuffs and driven into #Detention. We stand with #Compassion with refugees and asylum seekers against this act of cruelty.

🚨BREAKING: The Gov has confirmed that people have been detained under the new ‘one in, one out’ deal with France. If the Government is serious about preventing dangerous crossings, it must open up #SafeRoutes for those who need them. This deal with France is not the answer.

This weekend, communities across the UK are coming together to send a message of solidarity and compassion. Let’s show our MPs and neighbours that overwhelmingly Britain chooses welcome over division. 🧡 #WelcomeWeekend @refugeestogether.bsky.social

Most #Refugees & #AsylumSeekers seek safety from regions torn apart by war & persecution. With no #SafeRoutes, they are forced to take dangerous journeys. We stand with #CompassionNotCruelty, welcoming them into our communities & urging the need for more safe routes. 🎨 Artist: Nikoleta Nosovska

Tomorrow, on #RomaHolocaustMemorialDay, we pause to remember the millions of lives destroyed by the Nazi regime, including Roma & Sinti men, women & children. Their suffering & death, like that of so many others, demand to be acknowledged and remembered. 🔗 renecassin.org/roma-holocau...

One year on from the riots, the question we must ask ourselves is simple: whose voices do we listen to - those who incite fear, or those who ask for refuge? The answer will define who we are. 📖 Read more: www.bigissue.com/opinion/uk-r... 🖊️ Our Head of Campaigns, @carenzaarnold.bsky.social

Today marks a year since the racist riots, a stark reminder of what happens when hatred goes unchecked. The Government has failed to address the failing asylum system. Instead, it continues to propose policies that dehumanise, criminalise & punish asylum seekers. 💚Amplify the work of grassroots orgs

Join @helenbamber.bsky.social's call on the UK government to automatically grant ALL confirmed trafficking survivors 5 years leave to remain— in line with other protection routes. It’s time to put survivors’ safety, recovery and rights first. 📄 Full report: helenbamber.org/resources/re...

The official document enlisting Fritz Lustig into the British Army in 1940, recording conversations between German generals gathering critical intelligence. But, in the 1940s, tens of thousands of Jewish #Refugees fleeing persecution were classified as 'enemy aliens' & interned on the #IsleOfMan.

🚨The Prime Minister has announced a shocking new 'one-in-one-out' deal with France. The UK and France should work together to protect lives, not put them at risk. This deal is not the answer, it will only cause harm. Refugees need #CompassionNotCruelty. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
