This is the action plan

social justice issue requires action

1. The issue of prejudice and racism against Australian Refuges and asylum seekers

• Being told go back where came from it might be easy for Australian who were born here. Where Refuges, it does affect them mentally and emotionally (McDermott, Malik 2020).

• Many Australian don’t believe why a family is seeking to live in Australia.

• This issue will lead to increased risk of self-harm of Refuges with developing isolation and depression (Ziersch et.al, 2020).

2. This action aims to stop discrimination and to raise awareness and knowledge among social worker student. Sharing real-life story of the student who suffered from war in their countries. As Pauline Hanson stated, “we are in danger of being swamped by Asians” (Katherine. M 2016).

3. To achieve the goal, we will start with an action that will include.

• Contacting the social work unit coordinator Jane Mears for having one video pod on the storytelling of Refugees and Asylum Seekers who recently arrived in Australia.

• Building on the program of Treehouse Theatre that provided young student acting what they have been throw in their home country that made them become refugees.

• This action will help many International and Local student to raise awareness and knowledge of why people become refugees and seeking to live in Australia.

• this opportunity will help many students to have an understanding that true stories dose exists.

• making appointment with Jane to discuss if we could have this action to be ongoing pod.

4. Impact of the proposed social action campaign will include

• Student being impacted emotional from the stories.

• The storytelling will impact on students to grow their knowledge and share it among their family and friend to stop discrimination against Refugees and Asylum seekers.

• It will impact on the young refugees to have their voice heard, and it is vital for our community to support our future generation to live in Australia without been discriminated.
