The simple fact is that Caitlin does not have the rights she needs to be able to get out of that situation, which has had huge financial and personal impacts on her, her mother and her family. I am reminded of what my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham Yardley (Jess Phillips) said when she came to a fundraiser in Lichfield a few years ago: Governments often talk about the need to defend the nation and their first responsibility being to keep people safe—with more guns, more tanks and more police officers; all things that we need to maintain our freedoms—but too often skate over the fact that for huge proportions of the population we cannot even guarantee their safety at home.
