The Stolen Generations refer to Australian Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples who, as children, were forcibly removed from their families by Australian state agencies and church missions from the mid-1800s to the 1970s. Estimates suggest that between 1 in 10 and 1 in 3 children were taken during that time.
