Come along to the 香港六合彩中特网 Student Pro Bono Committee鈥檚 first panel discussion of the year: 鈥淔ight NOT Flight: Challenging the Hostile Environment for Migrants in the UK鈥. We look forward to welcoming notable speakers from backgrounds of both law and social welfare to discuss the current issues facing migrants within the UK, as well as how our speakers are combating these discriminatory measures within their chosen field.

The evening鈥檚 discussion will focus on the Home Office鈥檚 choice to introduce 鈥渉ostile environment鈥 policies, whereby a series of government measures have been undertaken to make staying in the UK for migrants without leave to remain as difficult as possible. Our speakers will discuss the substantial consequences this has had in various sectors including access to healthcare, application for family reunification and the social and welfare rights of migrants. Our panelists鈥 real-life expertise in the matter will help to better our own critical understanding of how the policy works in practice, as well as showcasing their efforts to challenge it.

Whether you are a student interested in how to get involved in the world of immigration law, or simply looking to further understand the injustices facing migrants in our country today, this event is open for all! There will be a Q&A session after the discussion for you to ask our panellists any questions you may have, and there will be opportunities to network over a reception after the event.

The SPBC hopes to welcome you on 21聽November, 2019!
