The Rabbit-Proof Fence

“The Rabbit-Proof Fence” is a historical term referring to a large Australian barrier built in the early 20th century to control the spread of rabbits, which were an invasive species damaging crops. The fence stretches across Western Australia and was part of efforts to protect farming lands. It symbolizes Australian history, including the separation policies targeting Indigenous children, many of whom were forcibly taken from their families. The fence has also become a powerful symbol of resilience and the ongoing fight for Indigenous rights and recognition.
