A recent Australian Human Rights Commission Report prompted the Department of Home Affairs to admit they do not have appropriate policies or procedures relating to transgender persons in detention (Dec 2024) (Rec 12, p6)

The UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery documented community concerns about Border Force use of anti-trafficking as a reason to raid premises run or occupied by migrant sex workers predominantly from Southeast Asia, even with the full knowledge that they have not been trafficked in practice, in order to facilitate their deportation (Nov 2024). (p12)

Border Force profiling of Asian women under 30 years old violates a Cabinet decision to reject Nixon Review prohibition on migrant sex workers (Aug 2023) (Rec 20, 21, p6).
