Refugee children carry stories of courage and inspiration—standing with them means listening deeply and making way for their lived experience to shape the policies that determine their futures.
#childrenmigrants #Americas #June20
🌍🫂#WorldRefugeeDay
At IDC, we believe that standing with refugees means promoting alternative, open-door care models that truly protect the dignity of refugee children and adolescents.

🤝 Alternatives to detention are already working — community-based, rights-respecting and effective.
Let’s build a future where refugees are treated with dignity, not detention.

🌍🫂#WorldRefugeeDay
This #June20, we reaffirm our unwavering solidarity with refugee communities in the APAC region and globally. The Asia-Pacific region is home to millions of refugees, asylum seekers, and stateless persons, with significant populations from Myanmar and Afghanistan.

🧠🧱 Immigration detention harms mental health
In the #UK, migrants are held for indefinite periods- anxiety, trauma and hopelessness are the result.
📣 As Carolina Gottardo from IDC states: “Detention should not be used simply due to immigration status.”
