Summary: In Wiltshire, UK, refugees are afraid to leave their homes due to rising anti-immigration tensions. Mohamed, a Sudanese refugee who arrived in 2021, says he stays indoors after work to avoid being targeted or attacked. Dashi, who came from Somalia as a child bride, calls for more education to bring communities together and foster understanding.

Swindon Borough Council leader Jim Robbins welcomes discussions on immigration but urges people not to protest outside the town’s asylum hotel, as most residents are families with children who have already faced trauma. While anti-immigration protests have spread across the country, there are also counter-demonstrations supporting refugees. Refugees continue to face fear and insecurity despite seeking safety in the UK.
