Let's be clear, if any other group suffered this level of violence on a regular basis it would be a national scandal, questions would be asked in the House, and the Times and Telegraph would fill their opinion columns.

Well of course you are right there are awful levels of assault against women, but there are nevertheless campaigns, opinion columns and APPGs dedicated to it. But in saying that there is widespread indifference to violence against asylum seekers I wasn't hoping to launch a competition
I know, and I retweeted your comment and generally agree. But then I thought actually the women need a mention in this context- of ‘if it happened to any other group’- the campaigns we have now are relatively recent and given the numbers probably still not laughably small & not enough.
