Join refugees and their supporters on International Human Rights Day to call for justice for refugees.
We will be highlighting the urgent need for permanent protection for refugees who are victims of the flawed "fast track" system.
We are supporting the refugees’ demands for permanent visas along with work rights, healthcare, study rights and family reunions.
Fast track victims have been living in the community for 12 years without certainty. This must end.
We will also be calling for an end to Operation Sovereign Borders, to boat turnbacks, to mandatory detention and offshore processing.
We are in solidarity with refugees marooned by Australia on Nauru, in PNG and in Indonesia.
Join us. More information at [email protected].
