Catholic Church abuse

The Catholic Church abuse refers to the scandal involving sexual misconduct by clergy members towards minors and vulnerable individuals, primarily within the Roman Catholic Church. These abuses often went unreported or were covered up by church authorities, leading to significant harm and trauma for victims. The issue gained widespread attention in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, resulting in public outrage, legal action, and calls for reform within the Church. Efforts to address the problem include policy changes, increased transparency, and support for victims, highlighting the need for accountability and safeguarding measures in religious institutions.
