Home Sweet Home
A photographic exhibition presented by Hackney Refugee and Migrant Support Group and Women Asylum Seekers Together (London). The photographs highlight the conditions migrants and refugees experience today and raise questions about the detrimental impact on them if the proposed cuts in legal aid are implemented.
Cuts in legal aid
Legal aid is provided by the Government to fund legal advice and representation at court for people who cannot afford it. Over half a million people will lose out, according to the Government's own figures, if the legal aid budget is to be cut by £350 million. Legal aid for advice and representation on immigration, housing and benefits will become severely restricted.
Exhibition supported by Hackney Law Centre, Tower Hamlets Law Centre, Women for Refugee Women, Hackney Borough of Sanctuary group, Hackney Unites
