Description
Free, booking required
As part of the Stop Violence Against Women campaign, AIUK has been lobbying for an exemption to the No Recourse to Public Funds rule for vulnerable women of insecure immigration status, such as those on a student, spousal or temporary visa. The current rule leaves women of insecure status in violent relationships with the choice of remaining with an abusive partner or risking destitution if they decide to leave by denying them access to public funding (housing, benefits, etc) because the rule could force shelters and refuges to turn away such women.
Panel includes:
Heather Harvey, SVAW Campaign Manager, AIUK
Jo Clarke, Eaves
Anthony Wills – Hammersmith & Fulham local government officer, and Standing Together Against Domestic Violence
Chris Green, White Ribbon campaigner
