For women who are victims of violence - The Pope Video 2 - February 2021

By the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer):

Women. Suffering. Violence. Too often, we see these three words together in the news. As if this weren’t enough, the pandemic has caused an increase in abuse. How can we repair this damage? You can begin by responding to the call that comes to us from women who suffer any kind of violence: HELP. As Pope Francis says, “If we want a better world, that will be a peaceful home and not a battlefield, we all need to do a lot more for the dignity of each woman.” Get into action, sharing The Pope Video on all your social networks! Make the Holy Father’s message denouncing this evil reach many people.

SCRIPT:

“Today, there continue to be women who suffer violence. Psychological violence, verbal violence, physical violence, sexual violence.

It’s shocking how many women are beaten, insulted, and raped.

The various forms of ill-treatment that many women suffer are acts of cowardice and a degradation of all humanity. Of men and of all humanity.

The testimonies of the victims who dare to break their silence are a cry for help that we cannot ignore.

We must not look the other away.

Let us pray for women who are victims of violence, that they may be protected by society and have their sufferings considered and heeded by all.”

Each month, The Pope Video disseminates the Holy Father's prayer intentions regarding the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church.
