Abuse scandals

Abuse scandals typically refer to situations where individuals or organizations are accused of serious misconduct, such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, or systemic exploitation. These scandals often unfold in institutions like churches, schools, or sports organizations, revealing harm done to vulnerable individuals, often over many years. They can lead to public outrage, legal consequences, and calls for accountability. Such cases highlight failures in safeguarding and the importance of listening to and supporting victims. They also prompt societal discussions on preventing abuse and ensuring safe environments for all individuals, particularly those at risk.
