“WAR has provided extra support especially talking to my legal representative when they have neglected my asylum claim, including pointing out a letter form the home office threatening me with deportation which had been ignored by my representative. I could not find help like this from any other organisation, but this was crucial for me. Lawyers can be intimidating if you have a language barrier but having a group like WAR can be of great help and personally I have benefited from this. Also WAR has provided letters of support, which have been very crucial in my immigration case and without such letter I wouldn’t have been able to put down my ordeal in writing.
Through this organisation I have met and made women friends from my own country and other parts of the world who share the same pain and traumas. It was very important for me to meet other black women because the other groups were mainly of white women."
