Amen - Autobiography of a Nun, by Sister Jesme, alleges sexual abuse and corruption in Kerala’s Catholic Church

Sexual Abuse alleged by former Nun in Kerala, India

The Catholic Church in Kerala, India, which has barely recovered from the Sister Abhaya murder case, allegedly murdered by two priests and a nun, finds itself in another controversy.

52-year-old Sister Jesme, a former nun from Kerala, has blown the
whistle on the alleged sexual abuse that nuns have to face in convents.
Sister Jesme has written a book - Amen - Oru Kanyasthreeyude Atmakatha (Amen  - an autobiography of a nun,) that talks about the sexual harassment that she faced in the convent at the hands of both priests and nuns.
