Hilton was speaking to campaign for comprehensive reform for youth in congregate care. In a piece for the Washington Post, she wrote about the abuse she faced at a facility she was sent to as a teenager.

“At all four facilities I was sent to in my teens, I endured physical and psychological abuse by staff: I was choked, slapped across the face, spied on while showering and deprived of sleep,” Hilton wrote.

“We are pushing for a federal bill that will give children in facilities across the country unprecedented protections and rights—the kind of rights I didn’t have as a child,” Hilton said in an Instagram post. Credit: Collin Sabine via Storyful
