LIVE LIKE AN ASYLUM SEEKER FOR A WEEK CHALLENGE

Sunday 17th June to Saturday 24th June 2007 (Refugee Week)

Why do people who have fled persecution, torture, war and oppression to seek safety in Australia find themselves homeless and hungry in one of the world’s richest countries?
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is challenging all people in our community especially all Federal and State MP’s and Senators to take our challenge to live like an Asylum Seeker For A Week as a way to educate and raise awareness about the destitution that asylum seekers are forced to live in by our government.
