The climate in which people come to the UK to claim asylum is hostile and there are many injustices within the system.

GMIAU supports the right to work for all people who are claiming asylum. We believe that the right to work is a basic human right, upon which people build their independence, self esteem and confidence. To deny people the right to work leads to stigmatisation, isolation, and increased poor physical and mental health. It is also feeds the racism and xenophobia which every society has a duty to fight against.
