The French Parliament has definitively approved a law providing reparations for over 2,000 children from Réunion who were forcibly relocated to mainland France between 1962 and 1984. Commonly known as the “Children of the Creuse,” these minors were sent to 83 departments across mainland France, ostensibly to address population growth on Réunion Island. The relocation caused significant trauma for the children, who were separated from their families and communities. The unanimously approved legislation grants these individuals the right to financial compensation in the form of a lump-sum allowance. The law aims to address the historical injustice experienced by those affected by this policy. This marks a significant step towards acknowledging and rectifying the harm caused by the forced displacement program. The reparations are intended to provide some measure of redress for the lasting emotional and psychological impact of the relocations.
