The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was an Australian public inquiry established in 2013 to investigate how various institutions, including schools, churches, and youth organizations, handled allegations of child sexual abuse. It aimed to uncover systemic failures, offer support to survivors, and recommend reforms to protect children. The commission collected testimonies, examined policies, and published reports outlining its findings and suggestions for improving child protection. It highlighted the importance of accountability and transparency in preventing abuse and ensuring justice for victims.
