National Sorry Day

National Sorry Day is observed in Australia on May 26 each year. It commemorates the loss and grief experienced by Indigenous Australians as a result of policies that forcibly removed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, a practice known as the Stolen Generations. Established in 1998, the day serves as a reminder of the past injustices and aims to promote healing and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It encourages reflection, understanding, and respect towards Indigenous cultures and acknowledges the need for continued efforts toward social justice and equality.
