CWLA is the national peak body representing our 6 member organisations. A voice for the voiceless, we are involved in bioethics research, social issues and faith formation, and advocate to preserve the dignity of the human person at all stages of life.
Addressing social justice and ethical questions is one of our primary tasks. We strive to be a voice for the voiceless.
We are a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) and have consultative (Roster) status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (UN). We are
represented by our National International Secretary at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) sessions held at the UN Headquarters in New York each year.
We are a member organisation of the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations (WUCWO) and work together with 5 million women in more than 60 countries to promote the presence, participation and co-responsibility of Catholic women in society and the Church, in order to enable them to fulfil their mission of evangelisation and to work for human development. In 2006, WUCWO was erected by the Holy See as a Public International Association of the Faithful.
