Compensate Victims of Violent Abuse in State-Run Facilities

Goal: Demand financial compensation and mental health aid for victims of abuse in state-run hospitals and orphanages. Over 250,000 children and minors suffered years of abuse at the hands of hospital and orphanage staff members, according to a report released by New Zealand’s Royal Commission of Inquiry.

There, many were subjected to sexual assault, rape, torture, and racial and verbal abuse from the staff entrusted with their care. Particularly vulnerable were children from New Zealand’s Indigenous Māori groups. The Commission found that as much as 81% of the victims were Māori, who were targeted by clergy and other staff in an effort to strip them of their cultural identity through systematic abuse.
