‘No one believed my sister was in danger’: how race leaves abused women at risk Yvonne Roberts
After 12 years of marriage, “Z” was brutally murdered by her French husband. A year before her death, the couple and their daughter had returned from France to the north of England to be closer to Z’s British Pakistani family.

She was required to hand him all her wages. “She had holes in her shoes,” says her sister, Sanaya. “She used to be lively but she had become so withdrawn. She secretly came to see me and I couldn’t bear the state she was in.”

UK Immigration Rough Sleeper Rule Date:11 MAY 2021
Aaron Gates-Lincoln, Immigration News
The UK government has recently introduced a controversial new set of rules that aim to make rough sleeping grounds for refusal or cancellation of a migrant’s permission to remain within the UK.
In recent weeks, Priti Patel’s ‘new plan for immigration’ has furthered these changes by very quietly reviving a programme that was exposed in 2018 by ‘The Observer’ that aimed to obtain data on migrant rough sleepers. This programme uses councils and homelessness charities to obtain personal data about migrant rough sleepers that may result in the cancellation of their right to remain and consequently deportation.
Justifying the bill, the British government claims that as a result of Extinction Rebellion’s 2019 protests “some of London’s busiest areas were brought to a standstill for several days” and cost the police £37 million. It also cited the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests where it claimed “172 Metropolitan Police Service officers were assaulted by a violent minority”.
The Kill the Bill Coalition was launched at the end of March, and released a statement saying the bill “is a dangerous and unnecessary piece of legislation that endangers the rights and safety of every single one of us … We stand united and reject attempts to divide our movement into “good” and “bad” protestors.”
