Heal our past, build our future together
Six years ago, on the 13th of February 2008, the Australian Government wrote history: For the first time a formal apology was offered for the trauma and suffering of Australian and Torres Strait Islander children, the Stolen Generations, who were forcibly removed from their families and communities.
Australians are celebrating the anniversary of the apology all around the country. To see what’s happening near you, visit http://healingfoundation.org.au/how-will-you-commemorate-the-anniversary-of-the-apology-this-13th-of-february/
