Save the Children congratulates the Parliament of Australia

 

Save the Children Australia congratulates the Parliament of Australia for taking the step of apologising to Indigenous Australia’s stolen generations.

“This is a momentous day that has a potential to open a new and positive chapter in Australian history.  We urge the Government to continue its focus on meaningful engagement with Indigenous Australians and to provide improved access to education, health and economic opportunities,” said Margaret Douglas, Save the Children Australia’s CEO.

Save the Children, an international development agency, works in Australia and overseas with disadvantaged communities. Our programs in Australia are implemented in conjunction with indigenous communities, particularly in remote areas of South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
