Children's lives are being destroyed by Factory Schools, but we're fighting back
Dear friend,

Residential schools for indigenous children existed for decades in Australia, Canada and the U.S. The suffering, abuse and systematic cultural erasure they inflicted causes ongoing trauma today to survivors and their descendants.

You might think this kind of schooling had been consigned to history – but you’d be terribly wrong: TWO MILLION tribal children around the world are still being taught in these “Factory Schools."

Alienated from their communities, many victims of the Factory School system experience terrible abuse and suffer depression, violence, addiction and suicide.
 “In school, the teachers call us dirty. They call us pigs and dogs.”
Rahman, Orang Asli, Malaysia We've launched a new campaign to end Factory Schools and put indigenous education back under indigenous control.

Please sign our pledge, and we'll keep you updated on campaign actions: Sign the pledge! And please, tell your friends. There's only so much we can do alone – we rely on you to spread the word and fight back against injustice.

Yours in solidarity,

Alice
