"In the last five years eight providers have already abandoned their social work provision, and in some cases entire departments have shuttered" - I knew a stat like this was likely, but it’s still deeply unsettling to see it laid out so starkly - @Wonkhe wonkhe.com/blogs/social-peda…

Violence & discrimination continue to be a part of everyday life for millions of LGBTIQ+ people around the world.
We must push to repeal discriminatory laws, combat violence & end the scapegoating of marginalized communities.
Let's realize a vision of a world where everyone can live a life of freedom, equality & dignity.

As the only UK charity dedicated to reuniting children with their families across borders, family is at the heart of everything we do.
When it is safe and best for the child, it is always better for them to be raised by their family, and we ensure no child is denied that chance.
