[1] Women for Refugee Women have supported female refugees from a variety of countries, with many having experienced abuse, loss or trauma, destitution and mental illness.

[2] The organisation also campaigns alongside female refugees against injustices they face whilst in the UK, including conditions in detention centres.

This includes publishing research[3] and briefing politicians [4] to try and create a fairer asylum process.

Around 2,000 women who come to the UK seeking asylum are detained in immigration detention centres every year.

[7] In 2016, Women for Refugee Women produced a short animated film, directed by Priya Sundram, which documents and raises awareness about the experiences of women who have survived sexual violence and torture, and are currently detained in Yarl's Wood.
