The ‘Illegal Migration’ Bill, if passed, will strip those fleeing war, persecution and human rights abuses of their right to seek safety this country. It will amount to an asylum ban on those who arrive irregularly and will prevent access to vital support for survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. The government has admitted that this Bill breaches international law; but it doesn’t just do that, it removes access to justice and redress for the most vulnerable deeming them a subclass of the population not worthy enough to be treated equally before the law. This Bill is a fundamental breach of a survivor’s right to seek sanctuary and protection.
