Survivor’s Voices New Zealand.
Reflect Together is a survivor-led space created in the lead-up to Aotearoa New Zealand’s first National Day of Reflection on 12 November 2025.
Our approach
This platform honors the courage and voices of survivors of abuse in care, along with their families, whānau, and supporters. It is a place to share stories, reflections, and perspectives — whether individual journeys of healing and hope, or collective insights shaped by different regions and communities.
As part of the National Day of Reflection, survivor advocates including Paul Gibson QSO and Keith Wiffin KSO, will be hosting opportunities for reflection and kōrero with government agencies, communities, and the public. These sessions provide a chance to listen, learn, and strengthen New Zealand’s ongoing response to abuse in care.
Together, through stories and shared understanding, we can build a future that recognises the past, upholds dignity, and commits to justice and healing

What Survivors Say They Want Next
Survivors have been clear: acknowledgement must be matched with action, justice, and real change. Their voices echo international human rights standards that stress dignity, safety, and prevention of future harm.
Keith Wiffin KSO – Survivor Advocate
“It is time to deliver. For the words to have meaning, the Government must act.”
Paul Gibson QSO – Former Royal Commissioner
“Now that we understand the horrors… we ask you to put a stop to ongoing abuse and put right the harm.”
