<p>We are currently reviewing the information we provide to women asylum applicants
at the point of claim to ensure that they are aware of the external services available
to them and of their rights in the asylum process, such as the right to request an

Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Refugee Council and the Scottish Refugee
Council, we will shortly begin a pilot to signpost women who may have been the victims
of sexual violence to existing support services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
