The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry has been told how one woman was cruelly treated by nuns and beaten during her time at Nazareth House in Londonderry.
On Monday, the inquiry heard from the 58-year-old witness who was a resident at the home from 1957 to 1969.
She described how during her time there, some of the nuns were cruel and one nun would often beat her, hitting her with a belt she wore round her neck.
She told the inquiry that she was beaten black and blue with a stick.
The witness, who cannot be named, said that at bath time, 100 girls were forced to queue up with no privacy and the bath water was never changed.
