Commitment to Justice 2024-2025 Panel: Women & Justice

Loyola University Maryland’s commitment to justice is rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church, which proclaims that the life and dignity of the human person is the foundational principle of its social teaching. As Pope Francis has shared, this principle calls us to recognize and celebrate the dignity of all people regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, talent, or birthplace. However, this vision of dignity has not been reflected in the lives of all women throughout the world. Too many women have been and continue to be marginalized economically, financially, socially, and professionally, while their gifts, intellect, and contributions have been devalued and at times disregarded. The pervasive effects of sexism have resulted in a spiritual impoverishment of humanity. How can we elevate the voices and experiences of women in ways that recognize and celebrate their inherent dignity?

We invite the Loyola community to listen carefully and courageously to the experience of women. The panel will bring together women to speak on intersectionality, disparities in health care, disparities in pay equity, and challenge us to be contemplatives in action.
