Two women, identified as Margaret and Sheila, describe an experience they say lasted eight years within Opus Dei. In interviews summarized by the outlet, they say their role involved serving people living inside Opus Dei centres seven days a week without pay. Both accounts describe that they were expected to carry out ongoing duties as part of their participation in the organization.
The reports also allege that they were instructed to carry out self-harm rituals, which they present as part of their training or expectations while inside. The outlet frames these claims as particularly striking based on a specific “confession” shared during the interviews. The coverage does not include corroborating evidence, official findings, or responses from Opus Dei in the provided excerpts.
Overall, the sources present first-person allegations about labour conditions and physical harm-related instructions within Opus Dei, reported as experiences recounted by the women involved.
