Stop "cover-up practices" of sexual offences by the church. Provide effective mechanism to report any such offences to the police with immediate effect. Ensure strict, foolproof security/online method to prevent tampering of log book, visitor\s registers in convents, bishop\s houses, and parishes. Report to the local police immediately any sexual offences and abuses in convents, bishop’s houses, congregations, seminaries, church parishes, & Sunday classes.

  • Provide adequate compensation to sexual abuse victims. Set up a fund and provide adequate financial compensation for sexual abuse victims in the church/congregation and provide a severance financial assistance for those leaving the congregation due to victimization to enable them to lead a decent livelihood subsequent to leaving the congregation/seminary.
