Welcome to the Global Campaign to #endchilddetention, together we are a mighty civil movement! This is a place to inspire you to learn, educate and connect, that cherishes the humanity and dignity of children. 

Immigration detention is a child rights violation and yet, children are detained every day around the world.

Children experience severe physical and emotional effects of detention, and these can last a lifetime. 

Now is the time to encourage our supporters and partners to put pressure on national governments to take action. Will you join us?

How is your government doing? What can you recommend that your government does? Take a look at the NextGen Index and do your part to protect the liberty of the next generation, today.
