People arrive at parliament in New Zealand ahead of the release of a landmark report detailing the extent of abuse in state and faith-based care.People arrive at parliament in New Zealand ahead of the release of a landmark report detailing the extent of abuse in state and faith-based care.
The inquiry estimated that of the 655,000 people who went through care institutions since the 1950s, roughly 200,000 were abused. The true number of survivors could be much higher, it said. The report presented testimonies of survivors. It looked at the impact of abuse and neglect on individuals and their families, as well as communities and society.
“The people who were taken into care were babies, they were young children, they were young people, they were adults who needed care. They were taken under the guise of being supported and protected but instead they were abused and harmed,” Shaw said. It made multiple, detailed recommendations over how state and faith-based care entities should ensure safety within their institutions, and called for better government investment in mental health and disability care.
