WAST Manchester is a grassroots organisation led by and for women seeking asylum in Greater Manchester. We campaign for social justice and women's rights through a peer-led support model that helps women find their place in the UK. We deliver our work based on the values of compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment.  Our goal is to support women within the UK’s asylum system to integrate into the wider community and feel empowered to know their rights and have access to support regarding their basic needs, healthcare, immigration cases and other activities run by the charity.
