✊🏽 Thank you! 4,000 of you have added your names to our open letter to Premier Dan Andrews, calling on his government to protect young children from prison by raising the age to at least 14 — with no exceptions.
✍️ Can you help us get to 5,000?

In Victoria, primary school aged children as young as 10 can be arrested, put through the court system, and even imprisoned.
🕊️ The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has called on countries to raise the age to *at least 14 years old* — and has even singled out Australia’s poor record.
Victoria can do better than this. We can #RaiseTheAge
