29th Session of the Human Rights Council:Full-Day Discussion on the Human Rights of Women
June 19, 2015
The Holy See Delegation remains optimistic that the international community will continue to strive to promote the human rights of women from an approach that is truly worthy and deserving of the human person. Much progress has already been made as witnessed by the growing number of women in important political and social roles such as Presidents, Heads of Government, Ministers, Members of Parliament, Ambassadors and many other professional positions. “There is no doubt that we must do far more to advance women, if we want to give more strength to the reciprocity between man and woman. In fact, it is necessary that woman not only be listened to more, but that her voice carry real weight, a recognized authority in society.”
