New
publication For
Asylum Seekers & their Supporters A lifesaving and
labour saving Guide by Legal Action for Women. "I
was detained in Yarl’s Wood and was two days away from being deported.
It took many urgent letters, phone calls and a new solicitor to
submit a fresh claim to stop my deportation and get me out.
My supporters followed the steps in this Guide and won. With this Guide others can also win."
Ida V, All African Women’s Group "Legal
Action for Women, a free legal service whose determination to win
justice puts many lawyers to shame, has put together their experience of
day-to-day legal case work and campaigning in this exciting Guide.
Not only is it invaluable for those fighting in their own defence
or that of their family and neighbours; it is also essential reading for
lawyers, advocates and other professionals who will benefit greatly from
its practical information and advice.
At a time when
principles of international protection for those fleeing persecution are
being undermined in Europe and elsewhere, and asylum seekers battle even
to get their case heard in court, this Guide is needed more than ever.”

Action for Women, started
in London in 1982, is a grassroots user-led anti-sexist anti-racist
legal service. It combines
experienced lay workers with access to a network of trustworthy lawyers.
It is widely used by sex-workers, immigrant women, single mothers
and many facing injustice. This
accessible step-by-step guide puts
together information that is not usually available so that anyone
determined to get protection and justice can find out how to do it. Order on line at www.allwomencount.net/Publications/pamphlets.htm |
