Data RLC obtained from the NSW police is on the front page of the The Sydney Morning Herald today. No child should have to strip down naked in front of an adult; in most strip searches, they find nothing.

To our communities we say: you can count on us to continue the fight. ✊🏾

We’ll continue to have your back when you’re treated unfairly by police and when authorities threaten to tear your family apart.

We will continue to speak out fearlessly for what is right and true. 🖤💛❤️
