Please speak up for those who are denied a voice
People fleeing some of the world's worst regimes are being denied sanctuary in the UK.
Often without money and with just the clothes on their back, men and women like Anna are faced with being cut off from all support, thrown out of accommodation, and denied medical treatment. Destitute.
This deliberate policy of destitution means they are left to make a seemingly impossible choice; stay and endure a degrading, hand-to-mouth existence on the streets, or return home to face persecution, violence and even death.
Not surprisingly, the majority choose destitution over persecution.
We are campaigning for fairer alternatives.
See our latest Action Matters to find out how you can help stop destitution among refused asylum seekers.
