International students abandoned after Home Office errors

WEDNESDAY, 22 MARCH 2023 Nearly a decade after tens of thousands of international students were unjustly stripped of their right to study, work and live in the UK by the Home Office many are still fighting to get justice. Together with Migrant Voice some of those still affected petitioned the Prime Minister on Tuesday, 21 March, to take action to clear their names.

Let’s challenge the narrative of ‘Migration’ in the UK

Using education and sporting role models, Show Racism the Red Card will work alongside IMIX and Migrant Voice on an innovative new campaign to challenge the current narrative of migration. 18 months of funding will see IMIX lead a coalition that includes Migrant Voice and Show Racism the Red Card. Our collective aim is to challenge and address the common misconception amongst the general public of ‘illegality’ when describing all refugees and asylum seekers. This is a term which is rarely challenged when used in the media and feeds the…

Impact of cost of living crisis on migrants discussed at Migrant Voice London network meeting

Government and policymakers have generally ignored migrants when talking about the cost of living crisis, Migrant Voice director Nazek Ramadan told a meeting the organisation convened last week. This includes those who must pay huge sums of money in visa costs on top of rising bills and prices. The most dramatic examples of poverty and hardship come from individuals and organisations working with asylum seekers temporarily housed in hotels: “We saw children who walked barefoot because they had no shoes to wear,” Emad Ebadi of the Iraqi Welfare Association (IWA)…
