Women, Elderly, and Children In Religious Cults
Marcia Rudin
Abstract
Although most reports concerning cults suggest that the majority of converts are
young adults, there is growing documentation attesting to the negative impact of
cults on elderly and children. In addition, special abuses of women in cults
have become a cause of concern. This paper discusses reports on the cult-related
experiences of these three neglected groups and makes recommendations regarding
appropriate remedial actions.
