For many people, and especially Aboriginal people, talking about sexual abuse is considered shameful. Since colonisation, Aboriginal children and girls have been vulnerable to rape and sexual abuse.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse took evidence from Aboriginal people across Australia about their experiences of institutional child sexual assault.
