Intergenerational Impact of Adoption

The National Apology: A Bittersweet Moment

Continued Struggles and Government Funding

The Threat of Expanded Adoption in Queensland

Closing Remarks and Contact Information

In this episode we welcome back Lily Arthur, CEO of Origins Australia, long term political activist and best-selling author whose book, Prisoner of the State, gives a voice to 150,000 Australian unmarried mothers whose babies were systematically stolen from them under the Commonwealth Government’s past forced adoption practices.

Today, Lily shines a light on the unlawful use of dangerous psychotropic and carcinogenic drugs on young vulnerable unmarried mothers -many of them only girls - and the long term impact these drugs have had on the lives of the survivors who were overdosed on them, without their knowledge or consent. She tells us why she is has taken her fight for justice to the Commission for Human Rights, as a mass violation of the fundamental human rights of an entire generation of mothers and children in what is now recognised as an intergenerational crime.
