âMarieâ said she was told on 1 January she would be moved the next day with her three-year-old son. Modern slavery survivors with young children were among refugees allegedly forced to move accommodation in London with as little as one dayâs notice during coronavirus lockdowns this winter. Women who are among the UKâs most vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers said they were given just 24 hours to pack before being moved from accommodation provided by the Home Office, often having to travel long distances across the capital, in late December and January. Some said the accommodation they had been moved to had not been cleaned or was substandard â with a slug infestation in one property â and there were reports of âaggressiveâ behaviour from housing management staff, with one young mother saying she was forced to throw away many of her belongings and a 56-year-old woman in poor health reporting that a housing manager visited her bedside to tell her she must move the next day.
