U.K. Government Issues Guidance Warning Asylum Seekers Not to Rape or Perform Female Genital Mutilation

The United Kingdom’s Home Office released guidance, informational pamphlets, and posters on Wednesday to inform asylum seekers of British laws against rape, female genital mutilation, and forced child marriage, among other things.

A Home Office pamphlet titled “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK,” explains that women have equal rights to men and can make decisions about marriage, education, and work.
