The recent Human Rights Commission report on children in detention puts forward a clear case for why we need to immediately release all kids from Australian detention centres.
Currently there are 221 children being held in mainland detention centres, and a further 119 children on Nauru. The Commission's report provides disturbing evidence of the harm inflicted on children in detention, with kids as young as 12 exposed to high degrees of violence, committing acts of self-harm, and experiencing significant mental health problems
