An Ecclesia for Equality: 2024

Ecclesia for Equality” is a virtual, physical, and spiritual space created by CWC, where we seek to model synodality authentically and cultivate strength in our interconnection and collaboration. We believe the network of the Catholic Women’s Council can play a unique role in the synod. As a diverse global platform for women committed to ensuring the dignity and equality of women, we celebrate the plurality of our voices, our different languages, symbols, and strategies, and walk together on this journey. 

 

"Ecclesia for Equality”, aims to amplify the events, prayers and demonstrations of our member groups during the Synodal meeting in Rome and around the world. We want to highlight where and how women are contributing to the global discernment of the synodal process. Our events in Rome and globally center around the themes the Role of Women in the Church, Human Rights, Women in Theology, Abuse and Violence against Women, Power, Participation, and Representation.

"God does not contradict Himself"

Vocations of Women are not an Error!

Women all over the world talk about their vocations and tell their stories. Numerous women's organisations collect these stories in the form of texts, pictures, photos or videos to present to the synod that women all over the world are ready for this service. It's time to amplify their voices.
