Stand with Indigenous Kids in Australia
For kids, community is everything. It's kids' connections with family and community that lets them flourish, and sets them up for life. Belonging matters and communities provide it.
But our government is separating Indigenous kids from their communities. Kids as young as 10 are being locked up, all across Australia; threatening our future as a fair and harmonious community.
If you're an Indigenous kid, you are 24 times more likely to be locked up than your non-Indigenous classmates.
But Indigenous people have the solutions — community-led programs that support kids so they don't get into trouble, and if they do, help them address the reasons why. Now we need our government to support these solutions too.
Can you stand up for Indigenous kids in Australia today?
My commitment to kids
I want a brighter tomorrow for Indigenous kids, and I make this commitment:
- To give every kid the best chance for a healthy, happy childhood in their community.
- To end the over-representation of Indigenous kids in the justice system.
- To encourage all levels of government to work together with Indigenous communities to develop sustainable solutions for this generation of kids and their families.
