You might have heard about some of the more prominent prisoners of conscience like Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi, but did you know that prisoners of conscience might live just around the corner.

We are talking children, who are sent to various types of residential detentions, not because they have broken laws, but for many reasons like poor grades, unwanted choice of a boyfriend or girlfriend, unwanted choice of gender when it comes to choice of partner, being fastidious. There are no guidelines. These minor had no access to legal aid before they were hauled out of their homes.

We are researchers and activist. We work from distance. We do not contact victims who have endured trauma unlikely to understand. So if anyone claim that they are coming from our organization and wants to contact you and meet you in person, they are not from our organization. Beware that there are predators out there searching for people who has been hurt in order to take advantage of them. Do not fall for that scam.

Our findings have been published on the blog 1000 places You don't want to be as a teenager

Here you can find places where children and young adults have been hurt. Spread awareness. Such things need to be stopped.
