At just 16, Lily Arthur’s life was shattered—incarcerated in a Magdalene laundry, shackled during childbirth, and forced to give up her baby. In this gripping episode, she reveals the horrifying truth behind Australia’s forced adoption era and her decades-long battle for justice. Now in her seventies, Lily is still fighting, taking her case to the United Nations to expose one of the country’s darkest secrets. Her story is raw, heartbreaking, and a testament to resilience.
