Clare Pascoe is a former mentor of SOAR and now creator and mentor of
SOAROZ. She is a survivor of abuse in the
Anglican Church, having been abused by her parish priest
from the age of 14 to 17 years old. She was a member of SOAR for 10 years and a mentor for 4 years. She runs her own website providing resources for clergy abuse
victims in Australia. She also speaks publicly about clergy
sexual abuse when a survivor's voice is asked for.
