Archbishop visits NCW headquarters

On March 10, Archbishop Paul Cremona visited the NCW Centre. Members of the National Council of Women and affiliated organisations were invited to meet the Archbishop on this special occasion.

The Archbishop stated that in the book of Genesis one finds that God created everyone as equal but with different identities. In today's modern world, man and woman ought to complement and support each other.

Women only, he added, can experience the reality of giving birth to a child and he emphasised that abortion goes against women's own nature. The Archbishop showed his pleasure at the council's efforts to inform against women trafficking for sexual scopes and the council's work on an international level to help women who are deprived of their rights and dignity.

In her speech, Doreen Micallef, NCW president, said that women are the fulcrum of the family. NCW has stressed its position against abortion several times even in Parliament. It considers abortion as ending a life of a human being who does not have the chance to speak for himself/herself.

All the members present were impressed by the Archbishop's warm character and his willingness to listen to everyone's opinions and comments.

Before leaving, the Archbishop was presented with a token and a donation, and was asked to sign a parchment, together with the Council executive committee, to commemorate the occasion.
