Some of the most vulnerable women being housed in the UK are still at risk of sexual violence The UK asylum system is re-traumatising women and girls who have fled rape and sexual violence, a new report has found. The report released by Rape Crisis England & Wales and Imkaan revealed that women who arrive in the UK are instead trapped within a system that puts them at further risk of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation.
Ghadah Alnasseri, Interim Co-Executive Director at Imkaan, said: ‘Our Not Safe Here report highlights the alarming reality faced by asylum-seeking women in the UK, who endure not only the trauma of past sexual violence but who face a situation where the distress they have suffered is compounded by the harms created by the asylum accommodation system itself and the wider hostility towards asylum seekers.
