Forced prostitution, child pornography, ritualistic abuse \u2013 all of these are closely interlinked. Organized ritual abuse (ORA) reveals a global market for the most modern form of slavery. Slaves in the 21st century, who can seemingly be commanded and controlled without will; yet in everyday life, they have no awareness of their own abuse. This is linked to the protective mechanism of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This protects children who are regularly exposed to the worst forms of violence from remembering it. Perpetrators exploit the knowledge of the dissociative identity structure and deliberately work with it.<\/p><h3>Where does our knowledge of Organized Ritual Abuse come from?<\/h3><p>Through our exit assistance program, we have personally met and supported many affected individuals over the past few years. Some have lived in our protection facility for extended periods. We have come to know them in everyday life and experienced firsthand: their entire actions and experiences are coherent and authentic. Many of the topics mentioned here are hard to bear and even harder to believe. We can believe them because we have met these people. Some were still in the early stages of their exit, some without therapy, some with therapy experience, and some have been out of the milieu for many years. They come from various regions of Germany and abroad, and they differ in age. What we report here are issues we have repeatedly encountered and experienced up close in our work. The knowledge shared here is not theoretical; it is knowledge that has developed practically in everyday life. The texts on the website were written in collaboration with affected individuals and supplemented with direct quotes.<\/p><h3>Definition of Organized Ritual Abuse<\/h3><p>What is organized violence? What is ritual abuse? What connects these two? There is no unified definition of these terms so far. However, the professional group &#8220;Sexualized Violence in Organized and Ritual Abuse Structures&#8221; at the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth issued expert recommendations to politics and society in 2018, which include a good definition of the violence structures:<\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em>Sexualized violence in organized and ritual abuse<\/em><\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em>In organized and ritual abuse structures, the systematic use of severe sexualized violence (in connection with physical and psychological violence) against children, adolescents, and adults is made possible through the collaboration of several perpetrators or perpetrator networks, and is often connected with commercial sexual exploitation (forced prostitution, child trafficking, child\/violent pornography).<br \/>If an ideology is used to justify or legitimize the violence, it is referred to as a ritual abuse structure. In some structures, families are involved across generations. Early childhood bonding with perpetrators, the group, and the ideology occurs. Additionally, there is an imposed silence. Those attempting to exit are pressured, blackmailed, and persecuted. Organized and ritual abuse structures can involve comprehensive control and exploitation of people through mind control techniques. The planned repeated application of severe violence forces specific dissociation or a deliberate splitting of the child&#8217;s personality. The resulting personality fragments are trained and used for specific purposes. The goal of this systematic conditioning is an internal structure that can be controlled by the perpetrators at any time, and for which the child, and later the adult, has no conscious memory in everyday life.<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bundeskoordinierung.de\/kontext\/controllers\/document.php\/155.b\/a\/be8025.pdf\">Read the full text here.<\/a><\/p><h3>Introduction to the topic using the example of Mrs. P.<\/h3><p>We want to provide an insight into these parallel worlds and take a closer look at the topic of Organized Ritual Abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder through the example of Mrs. P., to better explain and understand it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-822280a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"822280a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c5c4660\" data-id=\"c5c4660\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-571de23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"571de23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The external life of Ms P.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f20c371 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f20c371\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From the outside, Ms P. appeared to have had a happy childhood in a completely normal family who were highly respected in their local area.

There, she was able to observe Ms P\u2019s mental blackouts, flashbacks and potential changes in personality for the first time. The therapist at the clinic initially diagnosed her with post-traumatic stress disorder and, after subsequent stays, also diagnosed her with dissociative identity disorder. For the first time, Ms P remembered being sexually abused by her uncle and later also abusive behaviour by her father and grandfather. During her flashbacks, she relived the worst moments of pain to her entire body: being shackled, locked in cages, blood, fire, symbols...These images and feelings were new to Ms P.
