Working to free refugee children from detention

Despite what the politicians say there are still children in detention. There are over 150 children on Nauru.
Here are some of their voices.

Every year I wish to get out of detention. I make wish on my birthday day. I have 3 birthdays in detention. Can you imagine it? (9 year old child detainee, 2016).

Whoever became sick, medical used to come to us, with a briefcase, and tell us to drink water (15 year old child detainee, 2016).

I am always sad, because I am long time stay in detention (6 year old child detainee, 2016)


Recently a young girl was flown to Australia because she tried to commit suicide. Is this how we want vulnerable children to be treated?
