Summary

Description
English: Taken Not Given by Anne Ross
https://citycollection.melbourne.vic.gov.au/taken-not-given
The sign reads: This artwork remembers the mothers and children who were separated by forced adoption policies and practices. It acknowledges the loss and pain that this created – a lifetime of grief for us, the mothers, and the loss of birthright for our sons and daughters. The right to love and care for our children was taken from us and the harm inflicted is irreparable. Following a damning Commonwealth Senate Inquiry, the Victorian Parliament took steps towards ameliorating this shameful legacy by offering an unreserved apology.
