The UK government is to open new refugee resettlement routes for Afghan women and girls and for Palestinians, an announcement linked to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and made around the Labour Party conference in 2026. The move signals a shift in UK asylum policy toward targeted humanitarian schemes for groups facing acute risk.
Why now: The announcement at Labour's 2026 conference addresses ongoing debate over UK migration and asylum policy and the situations of Afghan women under Taliban rule and Palestinians in Gaza.
