68th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women side event sponsored by Holy See, UN Headquarters, New York, New York, USA - 20 Mar 2024
Archbishop Gabriele Caccia, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations speaks during panel on theme of 'End Surrogacy Now' sponsored by Holy See during CSW68 at UN Headquarters in New York on March 20, 2024. Panel discussed surrogacy after Pope Francis called to ban it. Pope said that surrogacy 'represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother's material needs. A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contact'.
