By signing our petition, you’re standing with thousands of adoptees, advocates, and allies calling for justice and accountability. We are demanding a national inquiry into Australia’s role in the unlawful and harmful intercountry adoption practices from South Korea.

This petition is not just about the past; it’s about healing, justice, and ensuring that no child is ever subjected to these abuses again.

Why Your Signature Matters:

• Human Rights Violations: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has confirmed that South Korean adoptees, including those sent to Australia, were subjected to significant human rights violations. While we are still seeking clarity on Australia’s full role in these abuses, it is clear that systemic failures and illegal practices were involved in the adoption process, affecting thousands of lives.

• Call for Accountability: We are asking the Australian government to launch a fully independent national inquiry that will uncover the truth about these practices, provide accountability, and bring meaningful reparations to adoptees.

• Justice for All Adoptees: The inquiry should cover all intercountry adoptions, starting with South Korea. It is time for the full scope of the injustice to be recognized, and for those responsible to be held accountable.
