Female asylum seekers report sexual assaults by British men, fear prosecution

Female asylum seekers in the UK report rapes and sexual assaults by British men but avoid pursuing criminal prosecution due to fear of jeopardizing their asylum claims. The Guardian highlights this amid far-right narratives about asylum seekers committing sexual violence, noting a reversal of the dominant public discourse. The claims are based on interviews and are not independently verified, but they underscore a systemic vulnerability in the asylum process.
