Demonstrate as the TDs return

Stand up for
THE RIGHT TO STAY
THE RIGHT TO WORK
THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN

Michael McDowell's deportation machine is tearing men, women and children away from communities they are now a part of, ignoring calls for compassion from their friends and neighbours.

Asylum seekers in Ireland are forced to live on only €19.10 a week. They are banned from working or studying. People who are ready, willing and able to work are condemned by the government to compulsory unemployment and poverty.

Women asylum seekers face particular problems. Women who have fled to Ireland to save themselves and their children from violence and female genital mutilation (FGM) receive an unsympathetic hearing from the state. They should be allowed to live in Ireland free from danger.

His ideological obsession with deporting people makes Michael McDowell unfit to be in charge of the asylum system. The system should be taken out of the hands of politicians altogether, and run by a body - such as the Human Rights Commission - committed to fair play for asylum seekers.

- Stop the deportations
- Give asylum seekers the right to work
- Make FGM and violence against women grounds for asylum
- Take the asylum system out of the politicians' hands

DEMONSTRATE as the TDs return
Demand justice for asylum seekers
Wednesday 28 September, 12 noon
Dáil Éireann, Kildare Street, Dublin
