The lack of prosecutions flowing from a Stormont abuse inquiry must serve as a lesson in the design of a mother and baby homes investigation, organisers of a new victims’ initiative have said.

Amnesty International and Ulster University have launched a series of online events to help and inform survivors of mother and baby homes and Magdalene laundries as they take part in the process of shaping an inquiry into those institutions.
