This showcased event has concluded.
In 2021, the theme of Reconciliation Week is 'More than a word: Reconciliation takes action'.
Thursday 27 May, 12pm.
The National Apology to the Stolen Generations finally happened on 13 February 2008, following a surging grassroots movement and the Bringing Them Home report. It signified 'a new page' for Australia's future, and committed to not repeating the injustices and approaches of the past.
Yet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are being removed from their families, community, and culture at increasing rates - higher today than at any other time in Australian history. They are over 11 times more likely to be removed than non-Indigenous children, representing 41% of the population in out-of-home care, despite making up only 6% of the total population of children in Australia.
This Reconciliation Week, hear from Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt, Dr Paul Gray and James Beaufils on why action is needed now. To stop that number doubling by the end of this decade. To stop the shameful practices and injustices of Australia's present. Because 'sorry' means you don't do it again.
