Safety for Sisters
Safety4Sisters was established to address the exclusion of migrant women (particularly those with 'no recourse to public funds') from the most basic rights of safety and protection. We work toward this through our policy work - highlighting strategies and practices that exclude migrant women from protection within statutory and voluntary provision.
The core work of Safety4Sisters is the Migrant Women’s Support Group that gives voice to migrant women fleeing abuse. This is a space which attends to the dynamics of both gender based violence and immigration controls, and which connects individual experiences with wider women's struggles.
During the school holidays we run weekly trips with the women and children - most importantly these are fun, but we’re also working to ensure that migrant families are able to access public space. We work with organisations to ensure that they are inclusive and accessible to migrant women.

Safety for Sisters
Safety4Sisters works to support migrant women across the North West who have experienced gender-based violence and who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF) or state benefits.
They advise women with NRPF: "that you may think there is no way to leave if you are dependent on your husband’s immigration status or you have no recourse to public funds and have no money; We urge you to talk, text or email us and we can help discuss your choices"
