Summary
Rape Crisis England & Wales (RCEW) and Imkaan, ‘Not Safe Here. The systemic failures to protect women and children from sexual violence and abuse in asylum accommodation’, October 2024.
Abstract
This report seeks to give voice to the stories of refugee and asylum-seeking women who have been subjected to sexual violence and abuse, prior to, during and since seeking safety in the UK. Our main aim is to shine a light on the experiences of these often-silenced women, whilst also examining the political context and policy landscape within which their stories played out.
