Litigating in Europe to Stop a Stolen Generation
In Central and Eastern Europe, child protection authorities target Romani families, and Romani children are forcibly removed from their parents and communities. There are differences: this is 2015, so there is no official government policy, but we know Roma are targeted, and in the context of deeply racist societies, this raises the spectre of something equally sinister, if not as systematic. – Our latest blog by Judit Geller

From Australia to Europe
The phrase “stolen generations” usually refers to those Aboriginal and mixed children, forcibly taken from their parents and communities and placed in institutions by federal and state authorities in Australia from about 1905 until the 1970s. The aim of this racist state policy was to assimilate and “resocialise” Aboriginals – children were removed brutally and forcibly, in some cases shortly after their birth, and placed in state institutions, often operated by church organisations. Parental rights were also removed and transferred to the state.
