The report was presented by service provider Angel Gabilondo, which showed that 1.13% of adults in Spain were abused when they were minors. Of this number, more than half of these people were victims of violence at the hands of priests or other religious elements, and the rest were victims of lay people working in church institutions.
The panelist explained that a total of 487 victims, 87% of whom were men, reported sexual abuse in the Church to the victim assistance department of the commission established by the institution, and that 11.7% of respondents were victims of sexual abuse in childhood or adolescence, predominantly in a family environment. Gabilondo proposed creating a government compensation fund for victims “who deserve to be heard, cared for and compensated.”
