FROM THE VAULT: 2012 / 2013

WHAT CAN YOU SAY
TO THE VICTIMS OF
INSTITUTIONAL ABUSE TO
HELP THEM SPEAK UP?

This started back in 2012 when the then Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard issued the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. I saw the brief for the website for the UX and Interactive Comms as an RFP and dived right in. I’m still not sure wether the agency I did this through really took it seriously but as a piece of interaction design. The challenge was obvious, to get this crowd to speak up wasn’t going to be easy, after what thy’d been through. The rest is history, as is we’d all hope, any form of institutional blindness on this issue, in this country, for evermore.
