Votes for Catholic Women’s Equality

The exclusion of women from decision and policy-making in the institutional Roman Catholic Church is an injustice that disproportionately impacts the lives of women and girls. Because women are prohibited from ordination rites – a necessary key for leadership and voting positions in the Church – women are marginalized, silenced, and absent from Church policies that affect their lives. Together, we must change that.

That’s why we’ve declared this year the year we VOTE YES on women’s equality in the Roman Catholic Church!
