The mirror has now reported on the death of Toni Asik, a 25 year old trans man who died in Bronzefield after repeated cries for help were ignored.

Just 24 hours later, Tracy D***s was found unresponsive in the same prison.

This is what happens when you hand lives over to a private company like Sodexo, whose model is built on punishment, cost-cutting and silence.

Long before sunrise, the tribal women of Koraput, Odisha, step out with sacks of forest produce and vegetables. Their daily grind feeds families and fuels economies- and yet their labour remains invisible.

They need more than applause- they need action. Read more on our new blog post to learn why these women need
- Subsidised Transport
- Tailored credit schemes
- Market Training
- Recognition of informal labour

New blog post up about yet another death at HMO Bronzefield.

Toni Asik, a 25 year old trans man, cried out for help but was met with silence, neglect and institutional cruelty.

Our latest blog exposes the brutal failures of Sodexo-run Bronzefield Prison and the healthcare systems inside it. No GP after 7pm, no su***de prevention, no dignity, no justice.

Black women in the UK are four times more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum.
This isn’t just poor care. It’s structural racism. And it’s costing lives.

🚨 URGENT: Demand Accountability in the UK Justice System 🚨

A petition is gaining momentum to call for the removal of Judge Joanna Greenberg, following deeply concerning decisions that have put women and girls at risk — and sent a clear message that gender-based violence is still being excused at the highest levels of the legal system.

👉🏾 Sign and share the petition now:

🔗 https://www.change.org/p/demand-the-removal-of-judge-joanna-greenberg-to-safeguard-women-and-girls

At a time when survivors are still fighting to be believed, when statistics on sexual violence remain horrifying, and when Black, brown and marginalized women are ignored most, we must demand better.

⚖️ Accountability isn’t optional, it’s essential.

✊🏾 Stand with us in safeguarding women and girls.

Demand the Removal of Judge Joanna Greenberg to Safeguard Women and Girls

Jake Cummings, a 26-year-old former Met Police officer, has been convicted of r**e, coercive control, false imprisonment, and stalking. He used security cameras and tracking apps to monitor and control vulnerable women and forcing them to sleep on FaceTime just so he could watch them.

It was only after one survivor came forward that two more did. The Met called him “manipulative”, but how many more “bad apples” do we need before we admit the barrel is rotten?

The Met Police is not broken. It’s working exactly as designed: racist, misogynistic, and systemically harmful.

Women in London deserve protection, not predation.

Kim was taken to the hospital yesterday because she was bleeding heavily and did not return.
Please email the home secretary to order her immediate deportation. She can’t wait anymore.

Prisoners With Cancer, Need Care Not Cages

Miss Kim, a 47-year-old Malaysian woman with stage two cervical cancer, is currently imprisoned at HMP Bronzefield, a failing private prison in West London run by Sodexo Ltd. She was diagnosed in September 2024 and began chemotherapy, but was remanded in May 2025 before her radiotherapy could begin. She should have been released on 9 July, but remains in custody due to bureaucratic delays and neglect.
Despite providing full authorisation and contact details, CNWL NHS Foundation Trust refused to obtain her medical records from Malaysia. Instead, she was taken in chains for repeated intimate exams, leading to heavy internal bleeding and deep trauma. Her treatment plan exists — it simply needs to be followed.
The Malaysian High Commission has refused to engage, delaying her deportation — which she agreed to in June. Dr Adrian Franklin at Royal Surrey County Hospital has deemed her fit to fly. But if she begins radiotherapy here, she will be placed on medical hold, preventing her return home and jeopardising her treatment.
Last week, she woke up soaked in blood. Her emergency bell was ignored. Officer Keith refused her clean sheets and told her no nurse was available. Senior Officer Phil Grover dismissed the incident entirely — and punished another prisoner who tried to advocate for her. This is systemic cruelty.
Miss Kim has been gaslit over her cancer diet. First told no medical review was needed, then told one was — and yet nothing has been done. There is no care plan for her or any other woman at Bronzefield with cancer. They have no emergency alarms, no dietary support, and are still transported in chains.
How many more women must suffer or die in Bronzefield before anything changes? Will Miss Kim be just another name on the long list of preventable deaths in custody?

HMP BRONZEFIELD IS FAILING WOMEN

Women in custody deserve safety, dignity, and a fair process. But at HMP Bronzefield — a private prison run by Sodexo — their complaints are ignored, buried, and actively obstructed.

8+ months with no response to complaints.

Women punished for speaking out.

A senior officer admits she’ll never rule against her colleagues.

Hostile staff threatening prisoners for filing complaints.

Women with cancer being denied nutrients and proper treatment.

This is not just negligence — it’s systemic abuse.

Under international law (OPCAT), the UK is required to have an effective and independent prison complaints process. Bronzefield is failing that obligation.

HMP Bronzefield has the highest rates of deaths in custody and self-harm in the women’s estate.

The complaints system is dysfunctional, slow, and biased.

Tens of millions in taxpayers’ money is being wasted on cosmetic fixes like wall stickers — while urgent needs go unmet.

We demand the Ministry of Justice intervene NOW.

It’s time to end Sodexo’s contract.

It’s time to reinvest in the public prison service.

It’s time for justice for women!

Farah Damji has been sentenced to six years. We are outraged — and we are appealing.

The judge refused to take into account expert psychiatric evidence from a senior forensic psychiatrist. Mental health is not optional in sentencing — it is a statutory mitigating factor. Ignoring it was not only unethical, it was unlawful.

Farah’s legal team is now appealing both her conviction and sentence. The case is now in the hands of the Court of Appeal — where we hope justice will be heard, not silenced.

We are relieved that this case has moved beyond Judge Greenberg, who has proven herself unwilling or unable to deliver a fair hearing.

This is not over.
This is not justice.
And Farah will not be left to die in prison.

🟦 This statement is made on behalf of The View and its directors: Daniel Ziggy, Jackie Dame, and Claire Sims.
🟦 Farah has had no involvement in this statement.
