IDC has made a major impact on the global stage, fighting especially hard to end child immigration detention.

We have joined forces with UN agencies and other key players, leading to game-changing commitments from the international community.

But we are not just about big-picture policy; we are driving change on the ground too and coordinating with regional and national efforts. In partnership with UNICEF and UNHCR, we have hosted peer-learning efforts to help policymakers share best practices on alternatives to detention. Plus, we oversaw the challenges of Covid-19 and its effects on immigration policy.

Immigration detention is a big issue and it requires a global perspective that is truly connected with national and regional dimensions. Join us and help make change happen everywhere.
