This post discusses child abuse.
The AHRC released its report today on gymnastics practices in Australia following several weeks of patchy media coverage on major news outlets. It was commissioned to create this report by GA, who wanted an independent investigation.
Depressingly but unsurprisingly, the findings are extremely grim, detailing abuse of all kinds and widespread eating disorders; those in charge appear to have either known, understood, or cared little about what was wrong and how to fix it.
The ABC did a write-up: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05...ort-human-rights-commission-culture/100111962.
I’m not sure there’s much for us to discuss here, but I want to acknowledge the findings, especially as there has been so much coverage of the U.S. and UK situations.
My very best wishes to gymnasts who suffered and are still suffering from their mistreatment.
