WA had the highest rates of Indigenous child removal in the country. At last, the state is finally facing up to it.

First Nations people please be advised this article speaks of racially discriminating moments in history, including the distress and death of First Nations people.

WA had the highest rates of forcible removal of Aboriginal children in this country. Today, more than 50% of Aboriginal people in WA are either Stolen Generations survivors or their direct descendants.

But the Stolen Generations aren’t just historical; they’re ongoing. Many still feel the reverberations of decades of trauma. WA will finally seek to redress some of it.
