Keep the 5 years route to refugees, we can’t go back to uncertainty.

Keep the 5 years route to refugees, we can’t go back to uncertainty. — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Please keep the 5-year settlement route for refugees who already have status. We survived trauma and years of uncertainty to finally feel safe. Don’t push us back into fear with longer routes. If rules change, they must not be applied to those already recognised.

Additional details

Many refugees, including survivors of human trafficking, endured years of trauma before finally finding safety in the UK. Changing our path to a longer route now would take away the security we have just begun to build. We should not be forced back into fear or instability after overcoming so much. The Government must honour the commitment made when our status was granted.
