Speaking on behalf of 杏MAP导航 Francis in a video message on Monday, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin welcomed the Women鈥檚 Forum G20 Italy meeting, saying the world needs women's partnerhship, leadership, and skills to face the monumental challenges of today. The meeting participants are gathered in Milan for a two day meeting focusing on the theme of 鈥淎 She-covery for all, Uniting Power with purpose for a new Inclusive Leadership鈥� that aims to raise awareness on the critical role women play and the positive impact on social and economic recovery efforts.

Cardinal Parolin acknwoledged the great challenges the world is facing due to the pandemic and the huge efforts needed to recover and assist those most affected, many traumatized and in dire situations. He noted how 杏MAP导航 Francis has often underscored 鈥渢he irreplaceable contribution of women in building a world that can be a home for all鈥�, and in particular how they are 鈥渃oncrete and know how to weave life鈥檚 threads with quiet patience.鈥� In the face of today鈥檚 global social, economic and climate challenges, he noted the role women play in promoting a sense of 鈥渟elflessness鈥�, especially needed today in order to rise above short sighted interests that only look to immediate profitability.

He added, a renewed sense of humanity and the profound dignity that characterizes every human person will go a long way in contributing to these efforts.
