Rights and dignity for all who migrate
International Detention Coalition (IDC) is a powerful global network of organisations, groups, and individuals based in over 75 countries who advocate to secure the human rights of people impacted by and at-risk of immigration detention.
What We Do

Advocacy
We advocate for changes in law, policy and practice that promote human rights

Research
We research & report on issues & identify evidence-based best practices

Capacity Building
We build the capacity of members and governments to develop solutions
Alternatives to Detention (ATD)
ATD is a critical tool to reduce the use of immigration detention. IDC focuses on the realisation of rights in ATD policy and practice. IDC’s Community Assessment and Placement (CAP) Model serves as a baseline framework for identifying and developing rights-based ATD.


Our Members
We believe that organisations at a local, national and regional levels have the best knowledge and understanding of the challenges being faced on the ground. That’s why we work with a network of members who make our collaborative work possible.
