No survivor of domestic abuse should ever be prevented from accessing the support + protection they need because of their status. Victims should be treated as victims, first + foremost You can read my full statement here: domesticabusecommissioner.uk… 3/3

Both @PelikanPictures and I are honoured to have worked with you in this project. Your support, expertise and insights have been invaluable, Charlotte. Looking forward to continuing to work together in the campaign to remove No Recourse to Public Funds for migrant survivors.

Our new film Left Behind highlights the experiences & voices of migrant victims &survivors of domestic violence who are subject to NRPF. You can watch the film featuring legislators, charities, and activists, & support @SBSisters's campaign ⬇️ vimeo.com/pelikanpictures/le…
We are campaigning for the Victims & Prisoners Bill to extend the Destitute DV Concession/DVILR to cover all migrant victims experiencing gendered violence. This would guarantee that victims with NRPF are no longer left facing destitution when trying to access safety & protection

The Victims and Prisoners Bill could provide a vital lifeline for migrant victims and survivors of #domesticabuse who are subject to the NRPF condition. Follow @SBSisters @lawrsuk @ubuntuglasgow @AngelouCentre1 @Safety4Sisters for more info on their significant campaign🌺

Due to the discriminatory and hostile No Recourse to Public Funds (#NRPF) policy, many #women are vulnerable to further exploitation and can be locked in dangerous situations or be driven back to abusive relationships. (1/2) 🎬vimeo.com/pelikanpictures/le… Info: uea.ac.uk/creative/blog/left…
