Further to reports that some female asylum seekers, who have children, are engaging in prostitution to supplement the €19.10 a week they receive from the State, and the €9.60 each asylum-seeking child gets a week, the Irish Refugee Council has launched a social media campaign to raise awareness about the €9.60 asylee children receive from the State.
Some contributions so far…
