A woman who was abused when she was a girl by a Catholic priest, is once again submitting evidence to the United Nations against the Vatican.
Sue Cox from Gaydon in Warwickshire, leads a group called Survivors Voice Europe – representing people who were abused by priests. This week the Vatican is appearing before the UN’s Committee Against Torture to defend its human rights record- as all nations must do which sign up to the UN charter.
Lawyers for Sue Cox’s organisation say the abuse carried out by priests amounts to torture. The Vatican has previously apologised for abuse carried out by priests.
