​
Karen is an Indigenous Australian woman from the Wonnarua people in the Hunter Valley, in New South Wales (NSW). Karen worked as a social worker on the Stolen Generations Inquiry at the Australian Human Rights Commission, where she was witness to hundreds of very personal and painful testimonies from Indigenous Australians who had been forcibly removed from their families.
