Children behind the wire
Anyone writing a children in detention centres story will find the Parliamentary Library's e-Brief, Children in Detention, useful, as it gives context and background to the issue, including numbers of children affected. It provides information on the education of such children and their psychological well-being (or lack of it). Links to further facts pages and organisations such as HREOC are provided, as well as a link to DIMIA's Women and Children in Immigration Detention page (http://www.immi.gov.au/detention/women.htm). The e-Brief is at http://www.aph.gov.au/library/intguide/SP/Childrendetention.htm. While it was written last year, the facts haven't changed. Posted by belinda at May 17, 2004 03:29 PMEmail this
