Immigration Detention of Women

This Briefing Paper focuses on women’s experience in immigration detention. It has been created by women who are either experts by experience or who work to support women who have been detained.

The intention of the Briefing Paper is to provide insight into women’s experience of immigration detention and to be a tool to support campaigns to end detention.

It has been written with support from Justice First, Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group, Samphire and was funded by the University of Kent. Grateful thanks go to all who contributed their time and knowledge.

Please share widely amongst campaigning groups and consider sharing with your local and national elected representatives.

All comments and questions should be directed to Dr Lucy Williams
