- At four, her head was shaved and her clothes burned. Aunty Lorraine doesn’t want her trauma to be forgotten
Aunty Lorraine Peeters, an 88-year-old Stolen Generations survivor, recalls being forcibly removed from her home at age four and placed in an Aboriginal Girls Home in New South Wales, where she was separated from her siblings and subjected to cultural erasure. She is now advocating for Australian governments to support a national plan addressing the needs of aging Stolen Generations survivors.
