Lift the Ban: Give people seeking asylum the right to work.

13 March 2025

Did you know that most people seeking asylum are banned from working? Talented, experienced and skilled people trapped in unemployment by a senseless ban. The work ban causes huge harm to women seeking safety, placing them at risk of further harm, abuse or exploitation.

Share our message now to tell the Government it's time to #LiftTheBan. @RefugeeAction Video by YouTube channel.
