Every day, mums and dads with their children come to RACS with their plastic bags full of essential documents, hoping to show why they fled their country, why they need Australia’s protection. Those plastic bags hold all their hopes for a better, safer future. At RACS, we strive to ensure that people at risk of persecution have a fair chance. There has never been a more desperate time for the people who come to RACS needing legal assistance. Frightened people that leave everything they have behind in order to seek safety in a country of peace. The very complex legal application form is almost impossible for non-English speakers. Without a lawyer, the process almost sets people up to fail. It is a long and incredibly hard process for the brave men, women and families who come through our doors. Most have experienced unimaginable trauma and grief in their home countries but with your support, together we will help to give people escaping persecution a stronger voice. Show your support. Make a real difference to a person’s life.
