Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet
BBC ^ | March 20, 2026 | Jennifer McKiernan

Asylum seekers have been told that rape, sexual harassment and domestic abuse are illegal in the UK, in guidance for new arrivals published by the Home Office.

A nine-page online booklet covers respect in public, sex and consent, and gender equality, with guidance on how UK laws and customs may be different from their home countries.

The Conservatives said any asylum seekers breaking UK law should be deported and Reform said the publication showed the government "knows that they are a menace".

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the government had "a very clear principle that if you break UK law, you will be removed from the country".

He said the number of removals of illegal immigrants from the UK "are significantly up" and that he was working to ensure that foreign national offenders are removed from the prison system.

He added: "It follows that if we're taking this approach, it's made explicitly clear what the UK law is and what the societal norms of the UK are and that's why this approach is being taken."

According to the latest Home Office figures, a total of 93,525 people applied for asylum in the UK from April 2025 to March 2026, which was down by 12% on the same period in the previous year.

The booklet sets out how asylum seekers must understand UK law, because the consequences of breaking the law mean "you could get in trouble with the police, lose your asylum support, or it could affect your asylum claim."

If a country has to tell immigrants that rape is illegal, then those immigrants should not be allowed into the country in the first place.

It's always an effort to learn the strange beliefs and practices of a new culture, when compelled to become a outside member of that culture. (/s)

Very soon, the UK Euroweenies and girliemen will announce that, in a move towards a more equitable multiculturalism, rape will be allowed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Unless it is Ramadan or Kwanzaa. During Ramadan and Kwanzaa, all European women need to remain in their homes.

They don’t do that in their own countries...

There will be street justice. The Brit establishment has zero interest in protecting their own women.

It says something about the people coming over that this needs to be taught. Imagine the pictagrams that would accompany these signs.

Just issue every lady their very own Glad Bag. Make it compulsory to wear. Magically, the animals won't be tempted anymore, nor any less.

Or carry a gun.

This reminds me of the Steve Martin stand up where he says he found a way to get away with bank robbery, all you have to do is tell the judge is “Your honor, I forgot bank robbery is illegal”. Sadly this seems to be a reality in England today “I did not know rape was illegal”
