Protection from persecution? Asylum law and process

1 day – 21/10/10 – Women Only
Asylum-seeking women are some of the most marginalised and vulnerable women in our society. Caught up in a system that appears incomprehensible, they remain invisible to many service providers. This one day course, co-trained with Asylum Aid, is a practical and insightful introduction to the law that determines who is entitled to protection in the UK and how decisions are made and challenged. This unique and innovative course focuses specifically on the needs of asylum-seeking women who are, or have experienced, gender-based violence.
