Most recent discussions following the Royal Commission into the scandalous revelations of child sexual abuse have concentrated on the Catholic Church in Australia. However, there is a much bigger picture when both a much longer historical context and results from inquiries in many other countries around the world are taken into account as well.

Professor Des Cahill, OAM, is Emeritus Professor of Urban and Intercultural Studies at RMIT University, and Chair of Religions for Peace, Australia. He is also deputy moderator of Religions for Peace, Asia and a foundation member of the Victoria Police Multi-Faith Council. With Dr Peter Wilkinson, he co-authored the major RMIT report, Child Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church: An interpretive Review of the Literature and Public Inquiry Reports, which was released in September 2017. He was a senior consultant on the Catholic Church .to the Royal Commission.
