SUMMARY:National Sorry Day
DESCRIPTION:On 26 May each year\, Sorry Day marks the anniversary of the tabling of the Bringing Them Home report in the Australian Parliament in 1997 and commemorates Stolen Generations survivors. The report was a landmark truth telling process\, sadly almost 30 years on a number of the report’s 54 recommendations remain unmet. \nRemaining Stolen Generations survivors are ageing\, and many do not have access to a full and fair redress scheme\, or to the records that hold keys to their stories. \nThe time to act is now. We must ensure that Stolen Generations survivors are supported to age with dignity and respect. \nLearn more and find a local community event here
