The UK Home Office continues to indefinitely detain people who have committed no crime, including pregnant women. Asylum seekers and refugees lead solidarity groups in the movement to end detention.
This International Women’s Day, I spent my lunch break outside the Home Office with about 100 other women. We were chanting, singing, and listening. We were there in solidarity with asylum seekers detained in Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre, demanding an end to the arbitrary but systematic detention of people who have committed no crime.
