"Sex workers are the original feminists. Often seen as merely subject to others' whims, in fact, sex workers have shaped and contributed to social movements across the world." -- 'Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights' by Juno Mac & Molly Smith
🚨 BREAKING: We have launched legal action against Home Office’s new Safety of Rwanda guidance to ensure that all individual cases against removal to Rwanda are properly considered. 1/3 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-689514…
The @SafetyAccord is doing important work to ensure that factories in Pakistan are made safe for garment workers. 120 brands have realised that this work was long overdue & that they must be part of it. Where are @LEVIS, @IKEA & @amazon?? #SignTheAccord voguebusiness.com/sustainability…
Street vendors are essential to a city’s economic & social fabric. However, authorities in Dakar are evicting workers, aiming to make it a “clean city” — a false idea, as many vendors try to keep the streets clean & safe for their customers. Read more: bit.ly/3TEmLu6
Be realistic, demand the impossible. Demand safety, sanctuary, equality, support, community and an end to the dehumanisation, the deportations and the profits extracted from suffering that are not shared. Brilliant article @ZrileB @migrantsorg 🤩❤️❤️

It costs nearly two and a half times more to send 1 asylum seeker to Rwanda than the *lifetime* cost of one disabled person on the highest rate of disability benefit. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…
If we allow ourselves to consider “unauthorized” forms of human movement as political - even as some of the most important transformative practices of our time - what do we learn about the planetary regulation of human life? My piece in @wagingnv! wagingnonviolence.org/rs/2024/05/tur…

The Nordic Model actually gives more power to the punter, and reduces the safety tools of sex workers. The only person who wins is the dangerous punter who now has a justified reason to avoid screening & can demand more for less as he knows we have less punters.

This continues to be one of the most under-reported scandals in our immigration system. 45,000 visas for essential jobs in UK farming in 2023. Workers then trapped with employers who underpay or dont give them enough work to pay off debts. Complain & you could be deported.

Decriminalisation removes the criminal penalties levied at sex workers. It brings sex work under employment law so workers can uphold their rights and organise for safer working conditions. (2/6)

Queensland has passed a bill to decriminalise sex work! Decriminalisation is the only legal framework that is evidenced to reduce harm to sex workers. Congratulations to all the workers who campaigned so hard for their rights and safety at work. (1/6)

Yesterday, unions & labour rights groups all over our network marked International Workers' Day: fighting for better working conditions, international solidarity, living wages & a just transition in the context of the climate crisis. 🧵#LabourDay #InternationalWorkersDay #MayDay
This continues to be one of the most under-reported scandals in our immigration system. 45,000 visas for essential jobs in UK farming in 2023. Workers then trapped with employers who underpay or dont give them enough work to pay off debts. Complain & you could be deported.
Today we launch our new report on agricultural work in the UK. This report – the 2nd in our series on the seasonal worker visa – sheds light on the conditions that are leaving thousands of people trapped in cycles of debt. Read it here:bit.ly/3UpNYRD 🧵

Hugely important in-depth exposé of how the far right are grooming victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. With powerful & brave testimony from “Lara” & a really sharp, thoughtful look at various factors contributing to this brutal mess. By @AndrewKersley for @BylineTimes 1/
You said it two years ago @the_mcquade
Feels relevant to revisit this piece right now. "It is difficult to imagine a publicly stated UK policy of recent years more designed to conform to the definition of a crime against humanity." 🚨👇 opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…
Publication Day! #ModernSlavery Thanks to everyone involved - so strange to be holding the actual book. Order now bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/modern-slavery… @BrisUniPress @WilberforceHull @KeeleUniversity
Helpful & insightful thread from @LouCalvey on how best to manage & prepare for any asylum arrests. The migrant community stands ready to do all we can to prevent this from happening & inflicting needless cruelty on those seeking sanctuary. Thank you to all on the front lines💪🏽
Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow: 1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.
So @SlaveryPEC was recently moved to Oxford. There was no open call or competition. All behind the scenes. By contrast, the other AHRC funded Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre was subject to an open and competitive process. ukri.org/opportunity/ho…
We are excited to share the news that @SlaveryPEC will be joining the @UniofOxford's Humanities Division from April 2024 1/3. humanities.web.ox.ac.uk/article/modern…
It’s one way to get the backlog down: loads of fearful asylum seekers disappear from asylum accommodation and support and become street homeless instead. That’s obviously a terrible outcome in every way and it’s also very, very predictable.
Home Office to detain asylum seekers across UK in shock Rwanda operation - this is definitely not going to lead to people going under ground and disappearing from the system 🙄 theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

More needlessly cruel borer spectacle. Reports of mass raids coming this week but there are something like 115,000 ppl stuck in the asylum backlog and just 2200 detention places. Rwanda can take very few theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
A tragedy occured on the French coast yesterday when five people, including a 7 year old child, died in a small boat. The context that you need to understand it is in this report alarmphone.org/en/2024/01/28/… #channel
People smugglers DO NOT BOARD BOATS. These are likely refugees that have been arrested & will doubtless be criminalised. All young people again. Just like Ibrahima Bah. Three arrested over Channel migrant deaths bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688908…
‘We’ve decreed Rwanda safe because they need migrants to replace the people killed in a genocide’. Someone in his office actually signed off this headline?!
Hark at this wassock.
405 lives lost in this awful game of human ‘who touched it last’. Whole humans, parents, children, killed because we can’t agree a safe route for people to access our asylum system.
The list of the dead continues to grow. More than 405 people have now lost their lives at UK's border with France and Belgium since 1999 ⤵️
Can we please have a moratorium on self-serving bullshit from international organisations who continue to dress up inhuman anti-immigration regimes as 'anti-trafficking measures'. Just go home. We have decades of evidence that it would be better if you did nothing at all.
Over the past decades, we've taken important steps in the fight against human trafficking & migrant smuggling. But today, that progress is under threat. @UNODC is launching a new global action to step up efforts against these crimes. Watch a message from @GhadaFathiWaly⤵️
