“Let us not forget that women and men are equal in their inherent dignity and worth and that this, together with their equal and inalienable rights, is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.”
Moreover, he added, situations of conflict lead to higher levels of violence against women and girls, as in Ukraine, and episodes of violence can also happen in the context of ordinary life. Some of these include abuse in the workplace, sexual harassment, pornography, prostitution, forced sterilization, incentives for abortion and selective abortion.
He also recalled Pope Francis's words during the homily on 1 January 2020 when the Holy Father spoke for the protection of women. “We can understand our degree of humanity by how we treat a woman’s body,” said the Pope. “How often are women’s bodies sacrificed on the profane altars of advertising, of profiteering, of pornography, exploited like a canvas to be used? Yet women’s bodies must be freed from consumerism; they must be respected and honoured.
