After fleeing Malawi to live openly as a lesbian, an asylum seeker survived UK detention and returned to support others inside.
This story
She fled Malawi after facing the threat of forced marriage or death for being a lesbian, initially moving to the UK to study. Her attempts to claim asylum were repeatedly refused due to demands for evidence, leaving her homeless for a year and detained multiple times. Having lived in the UK for 18 years, she has waited five years for a decision on a fresh claim and has spoken out to support people held in detention.
