SUMMARY:Do we know what it is to be a woman?
DESCRIPTION:Members are invited to join us on Thursday 12th November as Dr Karen Kilby facilitates a conversation on the different approaches theologians have taken towards the question of defining womanhood. \n\n\n\nIs there a distinctive “essence” of what it is to be a woman? What have official Catholic documents said or implied on the difference between men and women\, from the time of Pope St John Paul II onwards? In what ways is the Church still struggling with these issues? \n\n\n\nMembers will be sent the link an hour prior to the event. Members who have not seen this event advertised in the usual places should contact the secretary.

SUMMARY:What drives women into poverty?
DESCRIPTION:Following on from our webinar on Child Poverty (October 2024) and to coincide with Challenge Poverty Week in England and Wales (12 – 18 October 2026)\, the Social Responsibility Committee of the NBCW is hosting a webinar on Tuesday 13 October 2026 on What drives Women into Poverty\, shining the spotlight on women in poverty. \n\n\n\nPoverty is the ‘inability within society to meet minimum needs owing to a lack of material resources’\, often as a result of the vicissitudes of life suchas job loss\, health problems within the family\, precarious employment and the increase in the cost of living. This event focuses on two frequently overlooked areas\, which are also major contributors to such poverty: Unpaid Care and Coercive Control. \n\n\n\nThe event will be chaired by Jenny Hayward-Jones (CAFOD)\, and will feature presentations from experts in the field Emily Holzhausen CBE (Carers UK) and Dr Susan Longhurst (St Mary’s University Twickenham)\, who will share their insights and experiences. There will also be an opportunity for participants to discuss these issues with each other and explore ways on how we can help. \n\n\n\nJoin us here: \n\n\n\nTopic: What drives women in Poverty?Time: Oct 13\, 2026 07:00 PM London \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81038417933?pwd=hmnliWRjogO0vFqc3wMLtiJGOwjMB8.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 810 3841 7933Passcode: 015176 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nWelcome & prayer \n\n\n\nO Lord\, open my eyes that I may see the needs of others.Open my ears that I may hear their cries.Open my heart so that they need not be without succour.Let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong\,nor be afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.Show me where love and hope and faith are needed\,and use me to bring them to those places.And so\, Lord\,open my eyes and my ears that I may this day be able to do some work of peace for you.Amen \n\n\n\n(Alan Paton\, South African educator and writer\, 1903 – 1988) \n\n\n\nIntroductions \n\n\n\nPresentation: Constraints affecting women as unpaid carers and how they impact onwomen –  Emily Holzhausen CBE\, Carers UK \n\n\n\nQuestions for discussion: \n\n\n\n1. Name one thing which would make the most difference for women who provide unpaid care to disabled or older relatives? \n\n\n\n2. Baroness Casey is conducting a Big Care Conversation about what care families should‘reasonably be considered to provide’. Where\, do you think\, this boundary lies? How does it affect women in particular? How does better formal care and support prevent women’s poverty and what changes would you like to see? \n\n\n\nPresentation: Coercive control – Research on Domestic Abuse and Catholic Annulment – Dr Susan Longhurst\, St Mary’s University Twickenham \n\n\n\nQuestions for discussion: \n\n\n\n1. What questions should this research ask that we have not yet thought of? \n\n\n\n2. What would make the annulment process feel safer for a woman who has experiencedabuse\, and who in the parish or diocese should she be able to turn to along the way? \n\n\n\n3. For a woman who has experienced abuse\, what would justice from the Church look like\,and is it the same as receiving a declaration of nullity? \n\n\n\nConclusion \n\n\n\nVote of thanks
