THE PRESENTATION OF A PETITION TO OUR FEDERAL & STATE PARLIAMENTARIANS
About this Event
Join us when we call on the State & Federal Government to complete the World Heritage journey! Don’t abandon over 200 years of herstory & heritage!
The Parramatta Female Factory and Institutions Precinct (PFF&IP) at North Parramatta is one of Australia’s most significant landscapes of memory, conscience and survival. The World Heritage value of its buildings and spaces has been recognized by 29,000 Australians, through earlier petitions. A further petition organised by the PFFF, calls on both State and Federal Government to reinvigorate the quest for World Heritage listing, immediately, to protect the site and its setting, fund its conservation and interpretation and establish expert heritage and museum-style custodianship.
Since 1821, this extraordinary landscape has held stories of punishment, labour, child removal, welfare control, mental health care, resilience, survival and reform. For many descendants and survivors, it is sacred ground. For all Australians, it is a place of truth, memory and national conscience.
The women and children of Parramatta were too often silenced in life. They must not be silenced in history.
