This is not acceptable… migrant are a part of every socially integrated country.. that’s our uniqueness. We the migrant did not cause the delays in hospital care, we did migrant are not responsible for the high cost of living, we the migrant are not the cause for rise in housing costs, we might argue that there are few individuals who have committed crimes such as “rape” as you always drag migrant for but can we let the law take it course.

Migrant are a big part of economic growth, migrant work tirelessly to contribute to society, migrant are our brothers and sisters… migrant are not your enemies. Migrants also have foreigners in their land but they treat them with dignity and respect.

12/July is here soon.. take care everyone. If you are under any threat Phone the PSNI.

Abuse is not acceptable.. there is help if you have even been in a domestic abuse situation.

It's crucial that stalking is seen for what it often is for many of the woman we support — a continuation of domestic abuse.

Recognising this link is key to protecting victims and survivors, and ensuring they get the support they need.
