A message from the women of Yarl's Wood on International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day. Please read this. #SetHerFree #IWD2018 "We wish we could be celebrating with you on this day, but we are not free to do so... The restrictions placed on women 100 years ago should never have been and today they seem ridiculous. Today, we should not be locked up because of our immigration status, and one day it will be seen for what it is: an unjust abuse of human rights. I invoke the spirit of the suffragettes to help me every day I am detained and am hungry for freedom and we need to remember the sacrifice these women made a century ago so that we can have a vote and therefore have a voice today. We urge every woman to use that vote to keep fighting to make our society fair for our daughters and for generations to come." https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/feminism/2018/03/message-women-yarl-s-wood-international-women-s-day
