A guide published by Britain’s Home Office reminds asylum seekers not to rape women or sexually harass people, while noting that women are allowed to „earn their own money“ and „make their own decisions about their lives.“
The nine-page document is among the resources provided to asylum seekers seeking refuge, though it appears to target mostly men.
The guidance is meant to foster an understanding of expected behaviors for those arriving from other countries. Aside from earning a living, women are allowed to attend school, choose who they marry, travel freely and generally make their own decisions.
„Women do not need permission from a husband, father, brother, or any other man to do any of these things,“ the guide states.
Sections of the booklet cover gender equality, domestic abuse, sex and consent, respect in public, getting help and living in the U.K.
The section on domestic abuse warns of arrest and prison time for committing physical or emotional abuse against a partner.
„We expect everyone who comes to the U.K. to abide by our laws,“ a Home Office spokesperson told GB News. „If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the U.K.“

„Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this government,“ the spokesperson added.
The booklet notes that asylum seekers are expected to „treat your partner and family with respect,“ „let them make their own choices,“ and „never physically or verbally abuse or control them.“
In public, one must not direct sexual comments at people, even if they think it’s appropriate, follow someone or block their path to refrain from whistling or making kissing noises at someone, it states.
A section on consent adds that both people must consent to sex without threat or pressure and that anyone can change their mind at any time.
„If you have sex with someone without their consent, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime in the U.K. You could go to prison, lose your support and accommodation, and it will affect your asylum claim,“ the document states.
Anyone under the age of 16 is considered a child and cannot legally consent to sex, according to the guidance.
Support hotline numbers for victims of sexual and domestic abuse are provided at the end of each section and at the back of the booklet.

Nearly 70,000 illegal immigrants and foreign criminals have been returned or deported from the United Kingdom since the Labour Party came to power in July 2024, the BBC reported.
„Instead of trying to train these mainly young, male illegal immigrants to behave in a civilized way towards women, they should be deported,“ Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said.
