Government housed asylum seekers and refugees in sub-standard accommodation and treats them like criminals.

This #RefugeeWeek, take a stand against the UK government’s immigration bill which the UN has called an “asylum ban”.

Let's use our voice to help support a safer, more compassionate world.

The opening lines from Exodus Terminus by @ThereseKieran@twitter.com, reflecting on the death of 2 year-old Syrian boy Alan Kurdi.

Therese read this last night at a #RefugeeWeek event in Belfast. Those words have stayed with me. http://www.poetryni.com/uploads/2/6/9/7/2697541/fourxfour22.pdf

• 5 people missing in Titanic sub.
• 300+ die in migrant boat disaster.
• The media's coverage of these 2 tragedies says so much about perceived attitudes towards refugees. #RefugeeWeek #RefugeesWelcome

Widening our circles of compassion: Small Worlds #refugee stories

Read our article by Raleigh KUIPERS 👉 https://sharedfuture.news/widening-our-circles-of-compassion-small-worlds-refugee-stories/

“Don’t make assumptions about what asylum seekers and refugees might want or need, recognize the contributions they make to society and culture, and be open to friendship.”

Compassion requires tangible actions that reflect genuine empathy and a commitment to refugee rights. The UK Home Office fails in so many ways.

But there are groups showing how we can put #compassionintoaction this #refugeeweek.

Find out more in our blog. #privacy #humanrights

At the start of Refugee Week, the UK’s top medical bodies have called for an urgent meeting with ministers after suggesting that tens of thousands of children could be locked up indefinitely if the #IllegalMigrationBill becomes law.

The bill would give the Home Secretary new detention powers without time limit, which would apply to both unaccompanied children and children with their families.

As ever, the cruelty is the point.

This is encouraging news during #RefugeeWeek that most Brits contrary to Tory rhetoric actually wants to welcome refugees.

We need people to vote with their heart not their supposed wallets (although quite why anyone would think after 13 years of austerity and cost of living crisis the Tories make them better off is beyond me…).
