Great to be with @SolaceWomensAid tonight talking about what survivors need.
Survivors need support, voice, protection and justice and I hope we can seize the #VictimsBill to improve survivors rights with #OpenJusticeForAll #SafetybeforeStatus and #FamilyCourt reform #16Days
6 Dec 2023

Today is International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. This report from @Hestia1970 highlights experiences of Albanian victims of #modernslavery. We need improved safeguarding, data and a trauma informed response. We also need a firewall to put #SafetyBeforeStatus #VictimsBill

Our #UndergroundLives report explores Albanian survivors' experiences of #modernslavery
We found that one of the barriers to engaging with statutory services is that they are fearful of the consequences which can delay recovery.

Govt say the #VictimsBill is for all victims, but until the barriers faced by migrant women are addressed, this cannot be the case. We need #firewall to ensure safe reporting & stop info sharing between police and immigration enforcement for migrant victims #SafetyBeforeStatus

We have been leading a campaign to reform immigration law for victims of abuse for over 30 yrs & will not stop unless the rights of all victims are recognised regardless of their immigration status. The Victims Bill is a significant step in this direction. #SupportMigrantVictims

Yesterday I published my briefing calling on govt to stop #DomesticAbuse victims being reported to immigration officials when they turn to the police for help.
Thank you @danielboffey for this @guardian piece highlighting my concerns👇 #SafetyBeforeStatus

According to a new report from @CommissionerDA, there is no police force in England and Wales that doesn’t share the data of migrant victims of #DomesticAbuse with immigration enforcement.
We must put #SafetyBeforeStatus.

Important report from @CommissionerDA on the severe risk posed to #DomesticAbuse victims if they know that seeking help will lead to their immigration status being disclosed - shockingly a practice present in all police forces

ALT Photo of the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales, Nicole Jacobs. To the right of the photo text reads: No victim of domestic abuse should ever have their data shared with immigration enforcement without their consent. It's time to put #SafetyBeforeStatus The text is against a pink background, and the domestic abuse commissioner logo is in the bottom right of the graphic.

"We must ensure we are doing all we can to remove this barrier to reporting"
Encouraging words from @ACLouisaRolfe on the "very real" fear migrant #domesticabuse victims face
Govt can change this with a Firewall in the Victims Bill

I called for a firewall, so that victims of domestic abuse can report to police without fear that their information will be shared with immigration enforcement.
I am disappointed that the government has rejected this important called from @Commonswomequ #SafetyBeforeStatus

The govt's own analysis shows that support for migrant survivors of #DomesticAbuse is urgently needed
No-one should ever be denied a lifeline because of immigration status
We must put #SafetyBeforeStatus once and for all

Good to see @LDNVictimsComm speaking to @LordsJHACom this week on the barriers faced by migrant victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
We are calling for a Firewall between police and immigration enforcement so that victims and survivors can report safely.

Robust, evidence based, cost effective solutions for migrant survivors made by @CommissionerDA with cross- sector support have not been accepted by govt. This should concern us all. So many will be left with no where to go in the face of violence. We must put #SafetyBeforeStatus

In December last year I laid my report ‘Safety Before Status the Solutions’ before Parliament
I received a response from @ukhomeoffice last night
Today I have written to the Immigration Minister @RobertJenrick about my concerns in the Govt's response domesticabusecommissioner.uk…

This Bill presents key opportunities to protect migrant survivors #SafetyBeforeStatus
1⃣ Open recourse to public funds for all survivors
2⃣ Create a firewall between police immigration enforcement so that survivors who need protection won’t fear calling services
