Speaking on the eve of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of his pontificate, which is commemorated on Monday, Pope Francis defended the role of women in society: “Let us not leave women who are victims of abuse, exploitation, marginalization and pressure without a voice. unnecessary”. he defended.
Then he added: “Let us be the voice of their pain and forcefully denounce the injustices to which they are subjected, often in contexts that deprive them of any possibility of defense or redemption.”
