‘I was just a kid’

Wilma Robb’s story is about brutality and degradation. She was made a ward of the state because she had no one to look after her. As a 13-year old girl in the care of the state, she had her face smashed into a sink and was told to clean up the mess as blood poured out of her mouth.  

Wilma is an outspoken advocate for the girls subjected to the brutal regime at Parramatta Girls School and Hay Institute for girls.
