Public Invited To Abuse Victims' March
The public have been invited to join a march of solidarity for victims of abuse in religious-run institutions by organisers.
Survivors of child abuse in 216 institutions managed by 18 religious congregations have issued an open invitation to the public to attend a "march of solidarity" with them in Dublin tomorrow.
The public invitation from the group Survivors of Institutional Abuse Ireland said: "Survivors of child abuse crimes committed by Religious Orders in 216 Institutions are holding a silent March of Solidarity in Dublin, on Wednesday, June 10, at noon, and invite you to attend."
Those attending the procession are being asked to wear a white ribbon and bring a child's shoe before gathering at the Garden of Remembrance at noon.
The march will proceed in total silence past the GPO to the Dáil.
A spokesman for the group said: "The survivors hope you can attend and encourage as many people and public organisations as possible to participate in the march. We suggest that all participants wear a white ribbon for the silent march and bring a child's shoe to represent the lives lost in the institutions."
Those who cannot attend are asked to sign and post a copy of the Petition of Solidarity, which is available online at www.irishsolidarity.com, to PO Box 11618, Swords, Co. Dublin, Ireland. Those not attending are also being encouraged to wear a white ribbon on June 10 in solidarity with the survivors.
