Buenos Aires, Argentina, Oct 16, 2007 / 08:24 am
The 22nd annual National Encounter of Women held in Cordoba, Argentina, became a platform for launching attacks against Catholic women who participated in the event. Numerous women were physically assaulted by feminist groups whose purpose in attending was to promote abortion and gender ideology.
Emilio Nazar of the NOVA news agency reported that according to women present at the event, “violence has been the mark of the event’s two days. Attempts were made to forcefully expel Catholic women, and at workshops held below ground where there were few exits, women were hit on their shoulders, backs and legs.”
Nazar said the event, whose attendees were overwhelmingly in favor of abortion, was marked by blatant attacks against the faith and against anyone who voiced an opinion contrary to the feminist agenda.
“The women discussed the issue of discrimination and violence by men against women, but never did they discuss the violence of women against women. And such was the case at the event’s very workshops,” Nazar stated.
