The Archdiocese of Mexico City and SNAP Mexico — the Mexican chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests — have agreed to work cooperatively to protect children, promote healing and pursue justice in the cases of pedophile prelates.

The archdiocese and SNAP Mexico said in a joint statement June 4 that they “will be working to promote initiatives related to strengthening practices to protect children, young people and adults at risk against sexual abuse, along with promoting local responsibility in churches and vulnerable areas.”

The tasks to be undertaken by the two organizations include developing protocols to “help victims, to create consciousness and educate people on the need to protect children.”
