United Kingdom Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced new legal routes on Monday, providing Afghan women and girls and Palestinian refugees a safety net as they flee war and persecution.
The UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS) will be launched in partnership with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP). Mahmood said the scheme is intended to provide safer routes to Britain while deterring small-boat crossings, stressing that the UK must uphold its "international obligations."
The first arrivals under the scheme are expected later this year, the secretary shared. Upon arrival, individuals will be placed on a five-year path to permanent settlement.
