That's a really interesting list.

"Religious groups in UK failing children over sexual abuse, report says"- BBC News

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58420270


"The report said that many religious groups were putting children at risk by:

  • Victim blaming
  • Not openly discussing matters of sexuality
  • Abuse of power by religious leaders
  • Men dominating the leadership
  • Mistrust of non-religious agencies
  • Misusing the concept of "forgiveness"

The inquiry found that in some communities "the relationship between ideas of sexual 'purity' and social and familial standing are likely to make abuse markedly harder to report."

Maybe they'll get better at some of this stuff soon!
