    Recently had to file a report at a state-run insurance and they have a dedicated button on their webpage for “sexualized violence in churches”.

    I do wonder, is it the churches themselves that are insured that way? Because surely the victims get paid from the lawsuit, not from insurance.

    But either way, that is fucking harrowing that they have a dedicated button for it.

    I get that it’s probably just a matter of “we offer insurance for this, so we’ll have a button for it”. But even that someone in a government-near position decided “kids get raped in churches so often, and we expect more cases to happen or be uncovered, so we should add an insurance for that to our portfolio”, that concept just does not fit into my brain.
