"For Australia to become like this - to have Villawood transformed into that is painful." - Maria

A well-known end point and starting point for those who leave their country seeking asylum in Australia is Villawood Detention Centre -- formerly known as Villawood Hostel. Two women who were faced with the choice to flee share their story with their sons.

There are a few things that separate the arrival of Maria and Zahoor at Villawood: ten years, a few policy reforms and two very large fences.
