Well done @JCWI_UK - we love a victory! Now let's get rid of all these deadly predicatively racist AI algorithms being fed (often in secret) into every govt department - any investigative journalists @guardian out there want to help ?
🚨Breaking news🚨
We've got the Home Office to stop using its racist algorithm to sift visa applications!
The algorithm gave “speedy boarding” to white people – the Home Office has been forced to scrap it after we & @foxglovelegal launched legal action

Great film. Parliament MUST scrap NRPF - protect ALL mothers & their children from rape and other violence @nicolejacobsST
5 Aug 2020
#DA Bill does not protect immigrant mothers & must abolish No Recourse to Public Funds. ALL mothers have the right to resources to escape domestic abuse. See WAR’s new film @AgainstRape @AfricanGr x.com/AgainstRape/status/128…

No Recourse to Public Funds leaves women dependent on violent men. All women deserve housing, healthcare and benefits… We demand UK Home Office abolish #NRPF

Women of colour earn up to 32% less wages of white men. Over 20% of children in care are from BME backgrounds. It's RACISM & POVERTY NOT NEGLECT - stop stealing our children. #SupportNot Separation #CareIncomeNow

Last night @Channel4News reported that migrants in the UK fear charges for #NHS treatment, or being reported to immigration authorities if they go to the doctor - part of the Government's #HostileEnvironment.

We're calling for an end to use of 'parental alienation' by in family courts to deny abuse. Stop misogynist MPs attempts to criminalise women in the #DomesticAbuseBill @NotSeparation againstrape.net/press-releas…

These headlines barely brush the surface of the trauma and abuse going on behind closed doors during lockdown. The Domestic Abuse Bill has a long way to go to provide adequate resources and protection for the victims of domestic abuse. #ConfrontingCoerciveControl @AgainstRape

70% of women seeking asylum have fled rape
27 May 2020
Many of us fled rape & other torture, claimed asylum in UK only to be disbelieved & banged up in Yarl’s Wood - guarded by Serco’s sexual predators. @pritipatel .@ukhomeoffice Close down all detention centres, give #PapersForAll #RegularizacionYa unconditionally & permanently.

Days before his assassination, Malcolm X came to Smethwick, near Birmingham, in support of migrant's struggles. This photo has surfaced from a Bangladeshi curry-house. Great joy seeing 2 great influences in my life in 1 photo. Seeking to identify the restaurant or anyone present.

Just what's needed for survivors of rapr & DV given the government has cut our benefits and escape routes in order to make us dependent on violent & abusive partners for a roof over our heads especially if we are Black/immigrant @AgainstRape @AfricanGr @ProstitutesColl

Joseph McCann - one of many rapists, child abusers and domestic murderers freed to abuse others. This Government has cut not only Probation Service, but our escape routes – from refuges to housing to welfare. If convicted at all, violent men may feel unlucky, but rarely guilty.
