If you haven't read about the National Disability Abuse Inquiry, here's your chance.
In April 2015 at the Senate Inquiry public hearing, the Bolshy Divas presented The Uncounted, a harrowing read - forty stories that captured what's happening for people with disability in institutional settings today.
Violence, neglect and abuse happens across Australia every day. The Divas national abuse inquiry is no longer current, but you can view an archived version here.

It's now February 2017, and the Australian Government has still not responded to the Senate report. There's a link to the report below.
