[Organised abuse in the GDR - A Secondary Analysis of the Victims' Perspective].

Objective: Organiszed abuse (OA) is a form of long-lasting, mostly sexualized violence against children, youth, or women by networked perpetrators for financial and power-related enrichment. Individual reports and historical analyses imply this violence could have taken place in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). This study is the first to shed light on OA in the GDR from the perspective of those affected.
