Stop protecting child abusers, bring justice to victims
Stop protecting child abusers, bring justice to victims
The Issue
Jehovah's Witnesses have a long history of protecting child sexual abusers.
The Australian Royal Commission found that between 1950 and 2015, in Australia alone, Jehovah's Witnesses had records of 1006 cases of child abuse, with 1800 victims, none of which were reported to police. ( https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/case-studies/case-study-29-jehovahs-witnesses )
Jehovah's Witnesses continue to hide behind clergy-penitent privilege to avoid turning in their records from the rest of the countries where they operate.
We want the Canadian Government to force Jehovah's Witnesses to turn in their records, and bring justice to their many victims.
