Red Tape Rape. The Story of Ki Meekins

Ki Meekins

2008

When he was a baby, Ki Meekins was placed in the 'care' of the South Australian Government. Ki tells the story of this 'care' and his challenge to the South Australian Government, which contributed in part to the Government calling for a significant inquiry into the sexual abuse of child in its care.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
