Get Kids Out Of Adult Watch Houses

Get Kids Out Of Adult Watch Houses

The Queensland government has passed amendments that will enable Queensland Watch Houses to become youth detention centres for children.

For the second time this year, the Queensland Government has suspended its own Human Rights Act to allow for punitive laws that will have the most impact on First Nations children, and children with disabilities.

Children do not belong in watch houses. We are calling for an immediate end to punitive and carceral responses to vulnerable and marginalised children.

Take action now by emailing Queensland's Police Minister Mark Ryan asking him to repeal these inhumane laws.
