14 – 20 June is Refugee Week. There is a lot to learn about refugee experiences and many opportunities to show your support of refugee rights. We’re put together a small collection of resources for you:
Refugee stories
- The Messenger Podcast
- You Can’t Ask That: Refugees TV show
- They Cannot Take the Sky: Stories from Detention Book
- New Humans of Australia Facebook page
- Capernaum, a 2018 film about a child who decides to sue his parents for bringing him into the world
- Chasing Asylum, a documentary on Australia’s refugee policies on Stan (not free)
What you can do
- Donate to RISE: Refugees, Survivors and eX-detainees, a refugee-led organisation calling for the end of mandatory and indefinite detention
- Attend a protest to end detention (make sure to follow restrictions and wear a face mask)
