A woman has told the Historical Abuse Inquiry how she was sexually abused by a nun when she was a young child.
The woman, now in her 50s, said she was aged four or five at the time and lived in Nazareth House, Londonderry.
The inquiry is investigating abuse claims against children’s residential institutions in NI from 1922 to 1995.
The woman claimed she had been sexually and physically abused by nuns and older girls, and said she had prayed she would never have children herself.
“I couldn’t bear to see them going through the pain and hurt I suffered,” she said.
