Baobab stands Together with Refugees

The Baobab Centre today joins the Together With Refugees campaign, a coalition of UK human rights associations that are united in calling for a fairer, more humane, and more welcoming asylum system.

The UK asylum system is broken. The government needs to scrap its current plans and  honor its obligations under the 1951 Refugee convention to offer protection and refuge to those fleeing traumatic, life-threatening violence. It needs to start listening to the stories of those who have reached the UK, by any means, in order to find hope and rebuild their lives.

The Baobab Centre will use the opportunity of the planned debate on the Government’s proposals to make sure the voices of Baobab’s young refugees and asylum seekers are heard, and their interests defended.
