  We fled persecution, leaving our homes and families seeking  peace and safety. But for many of us, our cases were disbelieved and our appeals for safety rejected by the Home Office.
  We are kicked out of our accommodation and our food vouchers stopped.
  We are not allowed to work
  We can’t access education,
  We cannot receive benefits.
  We cannot go home. We are stuck here like this for years.
  We feel alone, depressed, isolated from society.
 We want to contribute, to be part of society and to pay taxes. We are teachers, electricians, artists, business men, doctors, farmers, students, parents, and friends. We are human. How can a human survive like this? Stop scapegoating us!.
