Join the Charter
The Charter of Rights of Women Seeking Asylum calls on the UK Border Agency to commit to treating women seeking asylum with fairness, dignity and respect. This means creating a system which recognises the particular issues which cause women to seek asylum and understands their particular needs as women. The Charter promotes change within UKBA at both operational and strategic levels. Demonstrating the broad range of support for this Charter is key to its success in encouraging such change.
