Systemic Abuse in Nuns' Religious Orders: A Report Analysis

This text is a thorough analysis of structural abuses in women's religious orders, where the theology of obedience is sometimes used as a tool for complete disempowerment. The author describes the mechanisms of "mind rape" and "identity amputation," pointing to the role of superiors as divine figures whose will is unquestionable. A key element of the reportage is the exposure of economic exploitation – unpaid work and uninsured work, which makes leaving the order an act of heroic struggle for survival. The article sheds light on the fate of women who, after years of "spiritual colonization," attempt to regain their conscience and agency in the secular world, often facing institutional exclusion.
