4 key areas where urgent change is needed so that people seeking asylum and refugees are treated with fairness and compassion.
Seeking asylum is a human right. We invite you to join us in calling for change so that Australia’s policies protect people’s rights and treat them fairly and with compassion.
This year’s virtual Big Walk path connects Australia, Christmas Island, Indonesia, Manus Island, Nauru and PNG.
These are key locations where Australia’s policies have caused harm to people instead of protecting their human rights.
These policies have created a legacy of ongoing suffering.
In Australia, Indonesia, PNG and Nauru, these policies continue to hurt thousands of people.
Please help us take action on these 5 areas:
Permanent visas and refugee protection for thousands of people who have been living in the community waiting for protection for more than 12 years
Thousands of refugees are stuck in Indonesia without pathways - take action to lift Australia’s ban on the resettlement of refugees from Indonesia and provide permanent pathways
End offshore detention and urgently evacuate all refugees from PNG and Nauru who are still trapped under Australia’s widely criticised offshore processing and detention system
