12. Stolen Generation
Between the late 1800s and 1969, Australian government policies led to the forced removal of Indigenous Australian children from their families.
These policies were based on the belief that Indigenous cultures were inferior, and they aimed to assimilate Indigenous children into white Australian
society.
The forced removal of children had devastating consequences for Indigenous families and communities.
Children were often taken without consent, causing trauma and grief. Many lost their cultural connections, languages, and traditions, as they were
raised in institutions or by non-Indigenous families.
In 2008, the Australian government issued a formal apology to the Stolen Generations. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered theapology,
acknowledging the pain and suffering caused by the government's policies.
The Stolen Generations have left a lasting impact on Indigenous communities. Reconciliation efforts aim to acknowledge the historical wrongs and
promote healing, cultural preservation, and recognition of the unique contributions of Indigenous Australians.
In 1997, the "Bringing Them Home" report was published. It detailed the experiences of the Stolen Generations and recommendedmeasures to
address their needs and provide redress.

making it difficult for victims to escape.
