The secretive Catholic organisation Opus Dei is under scrutiny, after the Financial Times reported that girls had been coerced into decades of gruelling service in the order.
Women from Britain and Ireland told the newspaper they were groomed to sign up as so-called assistant numeraries, which in reality meant working as domestic servants without pay or holidays.
The journalist who wrote the story is Antonia Cundy who says that the women were recruited when they started training at hospitality schools as 15- and 16-year-olds.
Cundy spoke to Corin Dann.
