Comunidad Boliviana de Sobrevivientes

The Comunidad Boliviana de Sobrevivientes (Bolivian Community of Survivors) is an association of victims of alleged child sexual abuse in Bolivia. They are newsworthy due to their efforts to seek accountability for the alleged abuse and cover-ups by the Compañía de Jesús (Society of Jesus, or Jesuit order). Recently, the group has requested the Parlament de Cataluña (Parliament of Catalonia) to investigate the Jesuit order for allegedly covering up cases of pederastia (child sexual abuse). This request follows the Síndica de Greuges (Ombudsman of Catalonia) requesting information from a Jesuit school regarding the alleged sending and concealing of pedophiles in Bolivia. The Comunidad Boliviana de Sobrevivientes' actions highlight the ongoing efforts to address historical allegations of abuse within the Catholic Church and bring attention to the alleged role of institutions in enabling or concealing such crimes.
