The callous nature of our 'immigration' system manifests itself into daily horrors
When we campaigned for the end of Yarl's wood style detention facilities did we imagine that this would lead into a further lowering of standards in 'open accommodation'
UK’s history shows that they disregard such concerns unless forced to revise its decisions by campaigners/courts
100's of torture victims, people with HIV, pregnant women, children & people with serious medical problems have been swallowed by the brutal detention machine
Centres like Yarl’s Wood provided basic schooling for children yet open centres only offer 'age-related work packs'
This tragedy is the inevitable outcome of a hostile policy that relies on the dehumanisation of applicants, & embeds mistrust in every aspect of the Gov response
The opening testimony from at the @WEP_UK members assembly on self ID stated that 'trans women face the same risks from men as women and girls do'....🧐.
The UK is one of the safest EU countries to live. In fact there were no reported transgender murders in the UK at all in 2016. Since the start of the Trans Murder Monitoring project in 2008 there has been on average just under 1 transgender person murdered in the UK each year.
The question we can now ask is whether transgender people at a higher risk of being killed than the average person? The data analysis suggests that they are not.
