Letter to the Editor: Survivors deserve to have justice and closure

I’m going to tell you a little about what it is like being friends with a survivor of institutional abuse and the mother and baby institutions. Each day we wake up to something new that triggers her. Everyday something unexpected will set off the flashbacks and yet every day is a blessing.

My friend, who is like a sister to me, is always fighting for justice — to ensure what happened to many children and women in this country is recognised for what it is, an atrocity of epic proportions.
