SHUT DOWN YARLSWOOD AND ALL DETENTION CENTRES!
Young Greens are supporting the Movement for Justice demonstration to surround Yarl’s Wood Immigration Detention Centre on the 18th November 2017 (note revised date).
This follows our attendance at the last demonstration in May 2017 in collaboration with our #PeopleNotNumbers campaign. Open to all Greens, Young and Old – please share and invite anyone who may be interested.
Time to build the Twelfth demonstration at Yarl’s Wood – lets shut down this racist, sexist hellhole once and for all!
#ShutDownYarlsWood
#EndDetentionNow
In Yarl’s Wood 400+ women are indefinitely detained, most of whom have experienced rape, domestic violence, torture, forced marriage, sexual abuse, FGM, persecution due to sexuality. Many of whom have long and deep connections to the UK, have been here most of their lives, have all their family and friends here. Many have children; some are pregnant, elderly, disabled, sick and have mental health difficulties.
Yarl’s Wood has been exposed time after time in undercover investigations, government reports, inspectorate reports, and inquiry findings for sexual abuse/harassment by guards towards the women. Undercover footage by Channel 4 news showed the brutal, racist attitude of the guards.
This is part of our Young Greens #PeopleNotNumbers campaign. We aim to explore the different conceptions that people have about freedom of movement, and its importance in an increasingly changing world. We want to listen to refugees and migrants and empower them to protect and promote their human rights. And finally, we want to transform the attitudes of politicians, encouraging them to recognise migrants and refugees as real people with real stories, and not a simple statistic.
The Young Greens are advocating booking onto one of Movement for Justice’s coaches. They will be arranged from all areas of the country and can be easily booked by keeping an eye on Movement for Justice By Any Means Necessary’s event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/262159867623100/
Once you have booked onto a coach, please email Hannah Graham at hannahg@younggreens.org.uk to let us know you are attending.
SHUT DOWN YARLSWOOD
SHUT DOWN ALL DETENTION CENTRES
Movement for Justice have held 11 demonstrations at the notorious Yarl’s Wood immigration detention centre. With every demonstration there is more vibrancy, more anger, more determination – with ex detainees, asylum seekers, feminist and anti racist activists from around the country demonstrating right at the fences of Yarl’s Wood.
The women behind the fences join the demonstrations from their rooms with handmade banners, signs, ribbons of toilet paper, their arms and legs – deifying guards threats to express their rage and determination for freedom. We come together and everyone leaves feeling stronger and more determined.
The Surround Yarl’s Wood demonstrations are palpable, direct and visibly impactful acts of solidarity. They give the women inside the strength to continue their daily resistance to racism, sexual abuse, deportations, and inadequate mental and physical healthcare. They have also inspired a whole generation of new young activists across the country to take up the fight against detention, the brutalities and racism of the immigration system and borders.
