Rwanda policy: Home Office 'knowingly' targeting women victims of trafficking for removal, report finds
by Bethany Rielly, Home affairs reporter

THE Home Office is targeting vulnerable women for deportation to Rwanda after identifying them as potential victims of trafficking, a new report by a charity has found. 

The in-depth analysis of 36 people threatened with removal to the east African country also found that the scheme has compounded mental health problems, including increasing the risk of self-harm and suicide. 

Many vulnerable people, including age-disputed children and suicidal individuals are among those who’ve been targeted, the report by Medical Justice published today claims.
