New Immigration Legal Advice Service.

Rights of Women is pleased to share details of our new immigration legal advice service for women who are vulnerable due to Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

Following the UK’s decision to leave the EU, EU citizens and their family members living in the UK must apply to the ‘EU Settlement Scheme’ to get the immigration status they need to continue living here. Further information about the EU Settlement Scheme is available here https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families.

We have received government funding until March 2020 to provide support to vulnerable EU citizens and their family members applying to the EU Settlement Scheme.

Our new telephone advice line provides legal advice and assistance to women who are vulnerable due to VAWG to enable them to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.

For further information about our EU Settlement Scheme advice line, please visit our website: https://rightsofwomen.org.uk/get-advice/immigration-and-asylum-law/

We would be grateful if you would circulate this message within your organisation and across your networks.
