Jamaican victim of sexual abuse, Denise Buchanan, poses in front Saint Peter's square on February 18, 2019, in Rome. - "I was 17 years old when I was raped by Brother Paul," Denise Buchanan, Jamaican, explains 40 years later. Her fight to have the Catholic Church recognize her status as a victim of this Jamaican priest illustrates the isolation of many victims of sexual abuse in the clergy against the denial of justice and omerta, exacerbated in poorer countries or states where the Church remains influential in society. Denise decided to become involved by becoming a member of the steering committee of a new global network of victims, ECA (Ending Clerical Abuse). (Photo by Alberto PIZZOLI / AFP)
