Sign our Petition
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.
How You Can Help:
Sign the Petition: Add your voice to the growing call for justice. Your signature will show that this issue matters to you and that you support the adoptee community in its fight for justice and accountability.
Share with Your Network: Spread the word. Share the petition with your family, friends, and networks to help us gain momentum and ensure that this cause reaches as many people as possible.
Together, we can make sure that the truth is heard, justice is served, and that future generations are protected from such violations.
