Historic Child Abuse Victims in Scotland May Receive Compensation
On November - 27 - 2011
VICTIMS of historic child abuse in Scotland could be in line for financial compensation under plans to be presented to Scottish ministers. The independent Scottish Human Rights Commission will this week outline options for making reparations to the victims of abuse in state, church and private children’s homes across the country. It is estimated that many hundreds of people may have suffered systematic abuse in more than 100 care institutions in Scotland in the last 70 years but under current legislation cases are time-barred.

Official Press Release
Tuesday March 6th 2012 Edinburh Scotland 9am Scottish Parliament Holyrood House.
For the attention of all UK press and media offices.
My name is Sam Edwards and, I am the Chief Executive to the campaign One voice for the kids and the Against child abuse network.
I am writing to you to inform you and your organisation of a high-profile event called the “Worldwide Peaceful Protest Against Child Abuse”. This event is scheduled to take place on the 6th March 2012 and, as the title suggests, this protest is worldwide.
The purpose of this protest is to raise the much needed awareness in to the effects of all types of childhood abuse and how it irrevocably changes the lives of so many young and vulnerable children around the world. Its primary goal is to get people and organisations talking to one another in order to create a meaningful dialogue between them. We are opening this event to all support groups and organisations that help and provide vital support to people affected by abuse. . Imagine a protest so large, all protesting on the same day around the world at as many of the world’s Government Offices as possible. To date, 38 worldwide countries are taking part on the 6th March.
What’s the alternative? Is there one? Ask the victims, see what they say. Listen to them, really listen to them. It is them and the people around them that have to deal with their wrecked lives while some pervert fulfils a fetish or a yearning for power.
How long is it going to be before cases like Baby Peter don’t even make the news or is that already happening? Dead is still dead while perpetrators walk free. Is this the society we have become? With your help and support, this protest can and will help to change a child’s life and their future but, only if we stand shoulder to shoulder and unite. The first step is to get the groups working together, which is why the Peaceful Protest was created. Get involved. For more information, please visit our websites or you can email our press team manager Andrew Peacher via: andrewpeacher@btconnect.com or, alternatively, you can contact Andrew on: 01507 477 433 (during normal office hours 9am to 5pm Mon-Fri)
Child abuse is preventable, not inevitable. Show your support and join in.
Here are just a few of the countries taking part:
Queensland, New York, Florida, Tunisia, Germany, Russia, Ghana, Finland, Denmark, Canada, Glasgow, Belfast, Donegal, London, Manchester, Liverpool and many more.
Here are just a few of the organisations that are taking part in the protest:
