The International Detention Coalition (IDC) is a unique global network of over 400 civil society organisations and individuals in 89 countries, that advocate for, research and provide direct services to refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants affected by immigration detention.
Vision
The IDC envisions a world without unnecessary immigration detention.
Mission
The IDC envisions a world without unnecessary immigration detention.
The IDC works to ensure that the human rights of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants impacted by immigration detention are respected, protected and fulfilled.
The IDC aims to bring about change in legislation, policy and practice that prevent, mitigate and respond to the harms associated with immigration detention and that promote alternatives to detention.
The IDC does this through our four key areas of work: network and capacity building, advocacy, awareness raising and campaigns, research and reporting.
Strategic Priorities
- Ending and limiting detention, particularly for children
- Developing and promoting alternatives to immigration detention
- Improving the rights, conditions and monitoring of immigration detention
