IISG-onderzoek toont oversterfte aan bij meisjestehuizen van De Goede Herder

3 June 2024 20:08

Door demografisch onderzoek van het IISG is vastgesteld dat er in de vijf Nederlandse opvangtehuizen voor meisjes van de Rooms-Katholieke congregatie De zusters van de Goede Herder 2 tot 4 keer meer jonge meisjes en vrouwen overleden dan normaal. Dit concludeert een samenwerkingsverband van de HSNDB van het IISG en de Radboud Group for Historical Demography and Family History onder leiding van Rick Mourits in de vierdelige documentaire ‘Meisjes van de Goede Herder’ die de VPRO in juni uitzendt. Het onderzoek is hieronder te raadplegen.
