According to the research, the environment created in Home Office asylum seeker hotels is described as controlling, threatening, and surveilling, causing immense distress and feelings of hopelessness among the women.
Complaints of voyeurism and sexual harassment were rampant, with one woman detailing how she was harassed daily and subjected to a lack of privacy, deeply affecting her mental health.
The report reveals that living in these hotels left almost half of the surveyed women with feelings of suicide, illustrating the severe emotional toll of their living conditions.
Women noted that they felt infantilized by strict rules such as oppressive roll calls and curfews, which further eroded their sense of autonomy and dignity.
