We are stronger together.

Women Asylum Seekers Together (WAST) is a charity and grassroots network based in Manchester. We offer local support but we campaign nationally to improve the rights of women seeking asylum in the UK.

Donations to support our work can provide a lifeline for the women in our network, enabling us to provide more support and campaign for a fairer society.

We empower and support one another

WAST fights for our rights, raising awareness of the injustices of the UK immigration system and the reasons why women seek sanctuary and international protection.
