No prison for children
Leher
It could’ve been you. One stupid mistake, one rash decision, one bad judgement call had the potential to derail our life as a teenager, but we were all lucky enough to be given a second chance. Not every child will be so lucky if the Government’s new Juvenile Justice Bill 2014 is passed.
A prison is no playground for children, so it you agree that we need to have a deeper conversation about this then we urge you to go throught this page for more details, and help us stall the bill by signing our petition.
Let’s find a solution that is just for all.
No prison for children is a social media campaign initiated in 2014 to prevent an amendment to the Juvenile Justice Bill that lowers the juvenile justice age from 18 to 16, for children who have committed heinous crimes.
