When it comes to #DomesticViolence and migrants to say that I am

angry

doesn't fully cover it.

I am

angry

bc migrants with precarious immigration status are afraid of reporting abusive partners/spouses [and other offences] bc deportation.

The Govt could fix this by separating immigration enforcement from policing!!

I am

angry

bc w/ victims of crimes [& witnesses!] w/ precarious immigration status, Gardaí have discretion on whether they'll follow up on their immigration status later on.

A sure way to deter people from reporting #DomesticAbuse, no?

bc refuges & services are SO underfunded they often rely on SW payments to offer medium to longer term accommodation.

Who faces barriers to social welfare? Undocumented migrants, ppl with precarious status, Roma people.
