An extensive report into mother and baby institutions, Magdalene Laundries and workhouses in Northern Ireland will be published on Tuesday.
It brings together archive records as well as testimonies from victims and survivors, their relatives and people who worked or volunteered for the institutions.
The report will contain a number of findings and recommendations, including on areas for an upcoming public inquiry to look into further.
More than 10,000 women, pregnant women, and girls passed through the secretive institutions, which were largely run by religious orders, from the 1920s until the 1990s.
A number of them had become pregnant as a result of sexual crime.
The panel has also been investigating the “pathways and practices” to the institutions, laundries and workhouses.
