In addition to casework, it engages in policy advocacy to push for a system that is fairer, safer, and more efficient, and it operates with a modest staff. Based in London, England, the charity works nationwide, combining direct legal services with policy campaigns. In 2012, it launched a campaign under the Charter of rights of women seeking asylum.
