Application for funds to continue and develop legal provision for traumatised asylum seeking women. (360G-CR-764026)

Manual Bravo work with women asylum seekers in and around Leeds to help them into safer lives. Women asylum seekers are less likely to gain asylum on their first claim then men, and those who have been sexually or violently assaulted (or with post-traumatic stress disorder) are even less likely secure refugee status as they are too traumatised to give full accounts of their ordeals. Many of these women experience destitution, sexual exploitation and violence as they try to survive. Manual Bravo provides high quality legal advice and general support to these women to get them the best possible outcome and into secure and safer lives.
