Living Memorial Parramatta Female Factory Precinct
Parramatta Female Factory Precinct is dedicated to raising awareness about the significance of Australia's earliest major site of Female Convict settlement, which later would become the site of the first purpose built Roman Catholic orphanage and Australia's only remaining Industrial School for Girls operating for nearly 100 years.
We seek the dedication of this site as a Living memorial to Women, the Forgotten Australians and the Lost and Stolen Generations.
Please support our campaign: visit our blog http://trevorcook.typepad.com/parragirls/ or our website for more information or to ad your voice to this campaign for the entire site to be designated a living memorial Australia's first Site of Conscience to the women and children who were largely victims of abuse, poverty, racism and marginalisation.
