The Project's activities
RWRP is the only project for women asylum seekers that integrates dedicated legal advice provision, original research and country information expertise, and uses the information from all this work as evidence for its policy, lobbying and campaigning activities.
For women seeking asylum or their supporters, the Refugee Women's Resource Project at Asylum Aid provides:
- free legal advice and representation
- one-off advice and referrals to other agencies
- research on human rights abuses in women’s countries of origin, which can be used as evidence to support a claim
- assistance to legal representatives who represent women
- workshops on gender issues relating to asylum claims and related topics
- research reports on asylum and gender issues
- monthly bulletin - Women's Asylum News
- lobbying, campaigning and raising awareness on issues that affect women asylum-seekers
- resources on the rights of women asylum-seekers
