This website is part of a research project mapping Australian memorials with a difference: instead of marking a death, these memorials acknowledge other kinds of loss and suffering including rape, child abuse, forced adoptions. This project is about finding about these memorials and why Australians would choose to commemorate such difficult knowledge.
