SUPPORTING BLACK AND MINORITISED MIGRANT WOMEN

 

Hibiscus is a feminist, anti-racist and intersectional women’s organisation that has delivered high-impact advocacy and advice services to Black and minoritised migrant women in contact with the Criminal Justice and Immigration systems for nearly 40 years. We have distinct expertise in working with migrant women in prison, in the community, and immigration removal centres.

Between April 2023 and March 2024, we supported 960 migrant women from 95 countries, providing:

  • welfare, advice, advocacy, volunteering and mentoring in prisons;
  • advocacy and practical and emotional support for people in detention and those released from immigration removal centres;
  • community support for those who have been in contact with the criminal justice system;
  • identification of and support for potential victim/survivors of trafficking and awareness-raising on the risks of being trafficked to the UK.

Vision

Our vision is to build a fair and just society where inequalities are eliminated from the criminal justice and immigration systems.

“Very impressed with excellent work and attitude of Hibiscus who support those trafficked and vulnerable…An excellent organisation for statutory partners to work with and learn from”
