20 year anniversary The 700-page report of the 'Stolen Children' National Inquiry Bringing them home, was tabled in Federal Parliament on 26 May 1997. It had 54 recommendations Less then 10 have been implemented Redressing Causes of Removal Twenty years ago, the Bringing Them Home report acknowledged that despite the end of formal assimilation policies, contemporary separations saw an over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children living separately from their families and communities. The report considered the broad social, economic, and cultural causes for continuing removals, concluding that ‘the facts of contemporary separation establish a need for fundamental change in Australian law and practice’. Today, the causes of removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families are connected to continuing experiences of poverty, disadvantage and inter-generational trauma that impact our communities. These root causes need to be properly redressed in order to secure the rights of our children and ensure that they grow up safe and strong in family, community, and culture. Need for healing from the trauma of colonisation, dispossession, and the Stolen Generations; eliminating institutional racism and discrimination; redressing disproportionate levels of poverty and disadvantage; providing accessible and culturally appropriate family services and early childhood services, and ending family violence.
