Superior generals need to be trained to better guide women religious who have been victims of sex abuse by priests, the president of the International Union of Superiors General (IUSG), told media in Rome.
“When a superior general feels at ease to speak about the issue with her sisters, they will be able to speak to her with confidence more easily if they have been victims of abuse,” Sister Carmen Sammut, the IUSG president told a Rome press conference ahead of the organization’s triennial conference from May 6-10.
