Asylum Seekers

Hey Hey Boys and Girls

We have been reading a lot about Asylum Seekers.

Today I would like you to watch the following videos and then post a comment on the following questions.







What rights are the children in detention centres missing? Do you think this is far? 


The Rights of a Child 

All children have the right to what follows, no matter what their race, colour sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, or where they were born or who they were born to.

You have the special right to grow up and to develop physically and spiritually in a healthy and normal way, free and with dignity.

You have a right to a name and to be a member of a country.

You have a right to special care and protection and to good food, housing and medical services.

You have the right to special care if handicapped in any way.

You have the right to love and understanding, preferably from parents and family


You have the right to go to school for free, to play, and to have an equal chance to develop yourself and to learn to be responsible and useful.

You have the right always to be among the first to get help.

You have the right to be protected against cruel acts or exploitation, e.g. you shall not be obliged to do work which hinders your development both physically and mentally.

You should be taught peace, understanding, tolerance and friendship among all people.

  4. The children in Darwin are missing out on school and Tafe. Only some children get to go. They need to go to school so they can learn and get a job.
    These children are not getting any Freedom. They are locked up in a hotel room and only get to go to the park once every 20 days. This is the only time they are allowed to leave the hotel.
    Some of these children are harming themselves and going on hunger strikes because they want to be free. They are guarded 24 hours a day and this is making them suffer.
