Bringing Them Home
"Bringing Them Home" is a report published in 1997 by the Australian Human Rights Commission. It investigates the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, a practice that occurred from the late 19th century to the 1970s. The report highlights the emotional and cultural impact of these policies on Indigenous communities and calls for reconciliation and healing.
The report is often associated with the Stolen Generations, a term used to describe those children who were taken away. It emphasizes the need for acknowledgment, justice, and support for affected families, aiming to foster understanding and improve relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
