We all deserve to seek and build a home where we can feel safe. Join us in campaigning for safe routes to the UK, to reduce the risk to people seeking sanctuary, and prevent trafficking and exploitation.
The Government is turning away people at their hour of need with new laws that effectively ban asylum in the UK. Until there are safe routes for people to travel to the UK, people will be pushed into dangerous journeys, and vulnerable to exploitation by traffickers.
