Victims of child abuse will take their protest to Stormont later to highlight the delay in compensation three months since the publication of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry report.
Victims have said they are angry that there has been no progress in delivering apologies, a redress scheme and support services for them because of the absence of a functioning government.
A picket due to be held today at Parliament Buildings will call on the political parties and UK government to address the issue in the current Stormont talks.
The abuse survivors will also hand in a 30-page document and letter calling for action and negotiations to start with victims.
The detailed briefing paper from survivors, which will be launched today at an event in Parliament Buildings, is based on widespread consultation with abuse victims across Northern Ireland.
The picket comes three months after a landmark report published in January recommended that victims should get state-backed compensation payments of up to £100,000.
The report came after a four-year inquiry into state and Church abuse.
However, the collapse of the executive in January has meant the inquiry’s recommendations have not been implemented.
Patrick Corrigan of Amnesty International, which is supporting the victims’ campaign for justice, said: "Victims of child abuse have been waiting their whole lives for justice".
"Now they have been hit with further uncertainty and no government, just when they need it most. For abuse survivors, justice delayed truly is justice denied. That is why they want the issue to be addressed in the political talks at Stormont".
