Caring about children's rights means caring about the rights of every child. That's why we're speaking out against new rules that put thousands of migrant and refugee children in the UK at risk of poverty, homelessness and trauma. #RefugeesWelcome asylummatters.org/2026/04/27/a...

Asylum Matters @asylummatters.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Today is a dark day for anyone who believes in sanctuary in the UK. People who've fled war and torture should be able to rebuild their lives in peace and security - not live under a constant threat of removal. We must not stop fighting these appalling anti-refugee laws.
