“We know that poverty, poor housing and the criminal justice system all live together. Why don't we address all three issues? All we do, because it's simple, is lock kids up.”: @amnestyOz #raisetheage https://t.co/xKHoDJcCkB

Despite evidence from health experts, social workers, Indigenous leaders, legal experts, & human rights organisations, the Aus govt continues to lock up children as young as 10 & ignore community solutions that actually work #raisetheage

We joined in with One Day in Fremantle today as an appropriate celebration of this country and the Noongar land we live on.
Thank you @CityofFremantle for hosting this culturally rich event & showing another way IS possible! #changethedate.

Housing MUST be the starting point of any solutions to homelessness.
We call on Perth Mayor @BasilZempilas to end the ban on food drives, to end the threats of using force to remove homeless people from the city & to provide real solutions to this crisis.

We demand better from ALL our elected officials.

Transphobic comments are harmful & discriminatory and can not be passed off as a joke.

Perth Mayor @basilzempilas we expect better from you.

#transphobia

[Amnesty WA @AmnestyWA]

Amnesty WA stands with our Trans & Gender Diverse Community against all forms of bigotry. Perth Mayor #basilzempilas comments are repugnant, discriminatory and most definitely not a joke. We expect better from our elected officials & condemn all forms of #transphobia.

Last #IWD Yasaman Aryani handed out 🌼 to peacefully demand women be allowed to choose what they wear. For this, Iran's authorities imprisoned her. Now a movement is growing: flooding social media with #Flowers4Yasaman. Join in for #IWD2020 👉 https://t.co/qOnWkIPgNt

[Amnesty WA @AmnestyWA]

Following the actions of #yasaman who was arrested in Iran for handing flowers to women on the train. #IWD2020 #freedomflowers

[Amnesty WA @AmnestyWA]

Freedom flowers for #yasaman #IWD2020
Yasaman is facing 16 years in prison for her action as a women's rights activist.

We asked a simple question to Indigenous people and our staff: 'What if we changed the date of Australia Day?'
