This Thursday, 6th October at 12 noon, will see a protest outside the Scottish Parliament to call on the First Minister of Scotland to do everything in his powers to bring the Vucaj Family back home to Scotland.
Since last week's devastating news about the Vucaj family's sudden deportation from the UK, we have made contact with the family.
The family are desperate to return to the UK. Saida in particular cannot leave her house or go to school, similar to 90% of girls in rural areas like her who are denied an education because it is too unsafe because of sex trafficking. Thousands of Albanian women are trafficked every year. Girls like Saida are a valuable commodity for the traffickers.
So, the fight is on to bring Glasgow's daughter Saida and her family back where they belong. Positive Action in housing calls for the First minister to use the Fresh Talent Initiative to bring home the Vucaj family.
“The Home Office threw the Vucaj family out through the 'front door' called reserved asylum matters, we are calling on Jack McConnell to return the family through the back door called the Fresh Talent Initiative�.
Robina Qureshi, Director, Positive Action in Housing
We are calling on everyone to email home@paih.org to support our call to the first minister to bring back the Vucaj children with their parents through the fresh talent initiative.
