EWTN.com - "Gender Equality" Seen to Be Hindering Women, Holy See Decries Ideology Stopping Advancement

Archbishop Migliore noted how nearly every international conference document or resolution links the achievement of rights to "a notion of sexual and reproductive health and rights which is violent to unborn human life and is detrimental to the integral needs of women and men within society."

"While at the same time," he added, "only seldom are women’s political, economic and social rights mentioned as an inescapable clause and commitment."

The Church is the champion of true women's rights in the world arena. She finds her focus with the person and her dignity. Other groups want to exploit the difficult situations that women find themselves in socially, economically and politically in order to gain license (and call them rights) for other causes.
