Green Party — Bristol Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2025

Debate

Violence against Women and Girls

Contribution

Research undertaken by Women for Refugee Women has found that banning work for women seeking asylum leads many women, sadly, to stay in unwanted and abusive relationships. Will the Minister consider lifting the ban on asylum seekers working, and will she specifically include women seeking asylum in the Government’s upcoming strategy to tackle violence against women and girls?
