Women asylum seekers and refugees fear that their asylum claims will be rejected and they may be deported under the UK’s new immigration legislation.
The regulations introduce a two-tier asylum system and harsh penalties for delayed claims or evidence that is submitted late.
The Nationality and Borders Act was officially enshrined into UK law at the end of April, despite strong resistance from charities working with refugees, and a large contingency of the British public. Key elements of the act, including the two-tier system, are already in force.
