What the petition asks
When victims are abroad unfortunately to be rescued those victims over the age of 18 end up in thousands of debt to the Home Office before they start their new life! Home office help the victims but unfortunately victims have to repay their travel costs etc. Abusers should be billed not victims.
As a victim of honour abuse and walking away at the age of 30 it came with a huge financial burden that was hard to cope with! Victims deal with more than enough like social isolation, mental health, live in hiding due to their safety etc.
