Iβm proud to stand with Amnesty UK and #StepUpMigrantWomen calling for UK law to protect survivors of domestic abuse no matter where they are from.
Fantastic speech from Rachel Treweek on why the #DABill must extend support to all survivors of #DomesticAbuse regardless of their immigration status & why the Supporting Migrant Victim Pilot falls well short of this ambition #StepUpMigrantWomen

For small charities such as Latin American Women's Rights Service - LAWRS, doing policy & parliamentarian work is an endless challenge. Limited capacity, lack of spaces for migrants to influence policy-making are barriers. Today, we celebrate our amazing work & get ready for the UK House of Commons! #StepUpMigrantWomen
