I urge the Parliament to consider this bill, not only from a public accountability perspective, but also as a way of achieving healing, closure and justice for survivors of sexual abuse.

This bill represents an important step towards redress for the survivors of abuse. It sends a clear message that no one is above the law and abusers and those who protect abusers must be held accountable.
