I/4 I wake every morning with the fear that we will never get Justice for all who suffered in #MotherAndBabyHomes; those who survived and those we lost during the years of operation and in the interim. Apologies don’t cut it; words on a page are meaningless if unaccompanied
by action; action that can bring closure. We cannot turn the clock back to right the injustice of the time; but we can acknowledge it today. The apology is null and void when redress amounts to days spent in institution; it ignores the lifelong inter generational trauma of 2/4
forced family separation; the experiences cited by survivors who endured discrimination and a catalogue of abuses; recognition of unpaid work by one category of mothers but not others. The lost children - 9,000 in 18 institutions- what about the others? We deserve better 3/4
