Join members of Rete L'Abuso and ECA who will be protesting the inaction of Italian institutions to end the Italian cover-up of clergy sexual abuse.

In the online magazine special of LEFT of 30 August 2018, the journalist Federico Tulli begins by stating that “Among the most developed countries, Italy is the only one in which there has never been a governmental investigation on
clerical pedophilia. Yet in Italy, the numbers reveal that it is much more widespread than elsewhere. An inertia that, in addition to the risks for children, has been worth a complaint to the UN for complicity with the Church.”

Statistics show that cases of harassment also occur among other religions, but that in the Catholic Church the problem is by far the largest. The problem is that in the Catholic Church there is no system to report sexual harassment of children - says Matthias Katsch, one of the founding members of ECA "Ending Clergy Abuse".
