Last year, the lives of too many women, men and children were lost at sea as people tried to reach safety in the UK. As a fair and compassionate nation, we should be understanding of what leads people to take such desperate measures and do everything we can to help save their lives.
Through its Nationality and Borders Bill, the Government is advancing brutal measures to criminalise and discriminate against people taking irregular routes to seek asylum in the UK. The Home Secretary maintains that those fleeing oppression will be supported via ‘safe and legal routes’, but the availability of safe routes is being reduced.
Make it make sense.Join the Refugee Council’s call to the Government to demand more safe routes for refugees and their families to reach the UK.Please sign the petition.
