The inability of a child to thrive in a Constitutionally protected God based perpetual threat and rape culture is not a fault of the child; however it does become their odious responsibility upon reaching adulthood. The Christian religion at its core is a toxic mechanism whereby intergenerational trauma is kept alive, active, and deeply embedded in each new generation, as it has done over the past 2,000+ years.

In the wake of ongoing revelations about abuse within religious institutions, particularly the Church, the call for reform resonates from the grassroots to the global stage. The momentum for change is palpably rooted in the actions of individuals and communities, both in Australia and internationally, who are rallying to support survivors and advocate for a culture of respect, safety, and accountability within the Church.
In Australia, the appointment of Sharon Lockwood as the Survivor Advocate for the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide marked a significant stride towards establishing a supportive environment for survivors. Lockwood, armed with 30 years of experience in social work with survivors, liaises between the Diocese and survivors, providing them with a plethora of support and advocacy services. Her role also involves promoting survivor-centric and trauma-informed approaches within the Church's policies, processes, and practices, illuminating a path towards healing and justice for survivors 1.
Beyond individual efforts, community-based initiatives like Full Stop Australia's Survivor Advocate Program and advocacy groups are becoming influential platforms for discussing and driving change regarding abuse within religious institutions. They emphasize the value of lived expertise in raising awareness and mobilizing community resources to support survivors and advance broader reform ?2? ?3?.

Global church networks like Tearfund are reaching out to vulnerable populations, harnessing the local church's potential for outreach and influence in advocating for change and supporting survivors in various communities worldwide?6?.

The Church of England's community action projects are another testament to the power of grassroots initiatives. These projects address a variety of community needs, including supporting survivors of abuse and working towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment within the Church and the wider community ?8?.
The wave of individual and community actions transcending borders underscores a collective resolve to redress the wounds inflicted by abuse within religious institutions. This grassroots uprising reflects a burgeoning global consciousness aimed at ensuring the Church evolves into a haven of safety, respect, and justice for all. Through volunteering, advocating, and providing support, individuals and communities worldwide are weaving a tapestry of change, fostering a
2023 Findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests and laity. Up to 50 million alive on any day who have been raped or abused by Catholic clergy &/or Catholic laity
Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million alive today who are likely to have been raped by Catholics globally.
The church protected the perpetrators, not the victims
"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this morning." Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, 17 July 2008. more
