Cardinal Pietro Parolin delivers a speech at the 4th International Safeguarding Conference on the prevention and protection against abuse in the Catholic Church, organized by the Institute of Anthropology at the Gregorian University in Rome.
Cardinal Pietro Parolin delivered his speech at the start of the 18-21 June event, dedicated, in particular, to “Safeguarding and Disability”. The conference, at the Pontifical Gregorian University, was organized by the University’s Institute of Anthropology, founded in 2012 as a Center for the Protection of Minors.
A report by the World Health Organization estimates that 16% of the global population lives with “a significant disability, considering health, environmental, and personal conditions.” Thus, the programme of the conference, bringing together experts, both consecrated and lay, focuses on"the care of children and adults in the face of abuse, with particular attention to people with disabilities due to their greater vulnerability.
The cardinal noted that"in recent years, the international community has made significant progress in recognizing the rights of people with disabilities, but unfortunately, this has not yet happened worldwide." Therefore, it is necessary, he added, to make"a fairer and more attentive society flourish.
The goal, conference promoters explained, is to create"a space for training and preparing Church leaders to address situations of abuse and violence against people with disabilities" and, at the same time,"provide a platform for learning, networking, and sharing best practices in the field of care, prevention, and follow-up for children and adults in situations of violence or abuse.
