Bringing Them Home presents a landmark government report in the genre of human rights documentation, detailing the systemic removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families—a practice now known as the Stolen Generations. The inquiry uncovers the devastating personal and cultural consequences of these policies, drawing on hundreds of testimonies to illustrate the trauma, dislocation, and enduring impact on Indigenous communities. The report argues for national accountability and outlines 54 recommendations aimed at healing, restitution, and reconciliation. It constructs a powerful narrative of historical injustice, institutional racism, and the urgent need for truth-telling in Australian society. As both a moral reckoning and a policy blueprint, Bringing Them Home remains one of the most significant documents in the country’s journey toward justice for First Nations peoples.
