"Every day, we are waiting for an update, 13 years of waiting. We are experiencing a slow death," Nikki says.
"We have lost our years, we are facing health issues, and we face thousands of challenges every day."
According to a report by UNSW's Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, for these refugees "there is no clear way to leave. Returning to the country of origin is impossible; (the chance of) third-country resettlement is remote; and surviving in Indonesia is very difficult".
"The conditions are really, really dire for the 14,000 refugees who are waiting in Indonesia, which is what makes [Australia's] decisions to stop resettling refugees from Indonesia even more cruel," Favero says.
"Australia has a really critical role in our region to provide safety to refugees so that they can rebuild their lives.
"One of the first steps has to be by lifting the ban on resettling refugees from Indonesia."
