This project used community researchers to interview twenty women who had received leave to remain under the ‘legacy’ casework scheme, about their experiences accessing the labour market and relevant public services. The aim of the project was to gather evidence of the particular challenges faced by the women, reflecting their gender and ethnicity, that
could then be used to hold public service providers to account under the
Equality Act.

The project was based within Rainbow Haven, a local community project which provides advice and support to asylum seekers, refugees and migrant workers in Manchester and Salford. The project was funded by Oxfam GB, as part of its Law into Practice project, funded by the European Union.
