The Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament and of Charity was founded in 1856 in Spain.[1] Founder Maria Michaela Desmaisieres was elected Mother General in 1859.[2]
There have been allegations that, for decades, under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, the girls and young women—often those who were unmarried ("fallen") young mothers, left-wing activists or otherwise seen as rebellious—were placed in the order's convents, where they were required to work without remuneration, made to suffer psychological distress, and, in some cases, had their babies stolen from them to be placed with "more traditional" families.[3]
