We are proud to be part of this joint enquiry by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Migration and the APPG on Poverty.

ARF has made our written submissions, along with many organisations in the sector, to the report, reviewing the effects of UK Immigration on Poverty.

We know it is not safe, whatever Michael Tomlinson might say. Rainbow Migration, African Rainbow Family and Micro Rainbow all work with #LGBTQI #refugees and people seeking asylum from #Rwanda . If it was safe why would they need to flee for safety?

Yes. This. 👇👇👇 #RwandaNotInMyName
