*Victims of Church abuse speak (Part 1): whether or not to ask for reparation* On October 5, 2021, France discovered the extent of sexual abuse in its Church. A commission (CIASE) reported 330,000 victims of clerics and nuns since 1950. Two bodies were quickly set up: the Independent National Authority for Recognition and Reparation (INIRR) for victims of priests and laity within the Catholic Church; and the Commission for Recognition and Reparation (CRR) for victims of abuse within religious congregations and institutions. Three and a half years on, victims spoke to Justice Info about their experiences with these commissions, in a three-part series of articles. 👉 https://www.justiceinfo.net/en/146003-victims-of-church-abuse-speak-part-1-whether-or-not-to-ask-for-reparation.html
