Claim Back What Is Yours

September 19, 2019 By Maggi Barnard

The Voice of a Survivor is a unique project that grew out of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Sexual Abuse.

After four years of harrowing investigation and testimony, the final report was delivered in December of 2017, and in so doing discovered ‘Another Australia’ – one that many struggle to recognise or acknowledge, even today.

It was found that the sexual and physical abuse of children, prisoners, patients, churchgoers and many other vulnerable people, was endemic across Australian society.

Crossing boundaries of colour, sex, age and type, the commission found nothing less than abuse, and the covering up of abuse, on a breathtaking scale.

As a response, The Voice of a Survivor began to find justice for the many survivors of abuse in institutions, in the form of letters of apology and financial reparations.

The Voice of a Survivor believes in justice for all Australians who have been abused and dispossessed, including members of the Stolen Generation. If you identify as a survivor of abuse or as a member of the Stolen Generation, now is the time to act.

Claim back what is yours and move on to a brighter, better day. Call 02 8091 0978 or email admin@thevoiceofasurvivor.com
