Evidence for the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

In addition, people with derived rights of residence face particular risk of being left out by the scheme. The September 2020 Quarterly EUSS statistics show that overall, derivative rights refusals (the vast majority of which were for Zambrano applications) account for 7% of refusals issued, despite only making up a tiny fraction of applications. Further, Zambrano applications had a much higher proportion of refused outcomes (63%) than other derivative right to reside routes (less than 1%).  Zambrano carers are the sole carers of children and disproportionately women and/or BAME. Many of them are also survivors of domestic abuse. When seen in the context of socioeconomic barriers to the scheme it is unsurprising but entirely unacceptable that this community is facing so much additional hardship securing status than their white, European counterparts.
