Culture of Life focus: Sexual Abuse and
Violence against Women
Prayer intentions:
- For all who have been and are being exploited by sexual abuse and violence.
- For all women who are trapped in violent and controlling family relationships, or in coerced marriages.
- For women and girls who are depersonalized and objectified via a hedonistic commercial culture.
- For victims of genital excision, throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Arabian peninsula, and increasingly in the West.
For reflection: what choices can we make in solidarity with women whose dignity has been trampled on through many forms of sexual violence?
