Rwanda removals: Information for survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking

The UK is aiming to send some people seeking asylum to Rwanda. Once in Rwanda, it could become very difficult for those people to return to the UK. The Government is relying on new laws (the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024 and Nationality and Borders Act 2022), guidance, and a treaty to begin this process.

This information sheet, which you can download below, is compiled for people who have experienced trafficking, modern slavery or exploitation to understand the process, their rights, and possible options if they receive a decision about removal to Rwanda. It may also support caseworkers and advocates working alongside survivors affected.
