International Detention Coalition (IDC) is the world's leading network dedicated to ending immigration detention. We are a global coalition, uniting civil society organisations, community groups and individuals working to end immigration detention and promote non-custodial, rights-based alternatives to detention (ATD). We believe refugees, migrants and all people on the move should be able to live freely while they await the outcome of their immigration case, and we advocate to secure the human rights and dignity of all people impacted by and at risk of immigration detention. To this end, IDC strategically builds movements and influences law, policy and practice to end immigration detention and to implement ATD. Our goal is to ensure that human rights are respected in migration systems. This includes community support, meeting basic needs like healthcare, food and housing, and ensuring the right to work, access education and contribute to society. IDC is a highly recognised, impact-driven organisation, offering a stimulating workplace committed to local, national, regional and global change.
And we are focused on solutions. There are fairer, cheaper and more effective ways to approach migration governance - that's why we're working to deliver practical alternatives.
Through policy change, IDC has helped prevent human rights abuses and secured a brighter future for refugees, migrants and their families all over the world.
Join us and help make immigration detention history.
