Vatican City State (Holy See)

The Vatican has denounced feminism for trying to blur differences between men and women and threatening the institution of families based on a mother and a father.

EU constitution, health policies and funding are all targets for Vatican lobby.

As U. S. Catholic priests returned from the Vatican in Rome this week to discuss the problem of sexual abuse of children by priests, little attention is being paid to reports of sexual exploitation of nuns in Africa by the church's clergy.

The Call to Accountability Campaign is an international campaign supported by over 300 international religious, women's rights and human rights groups whose goal is to raise public awareness about sexual violence against women in the Catholic church and hold accountable the individual and institutional leadership involved or complicit in this problem.
