The Catholic Network for Women’s Equality (CNWE) is a Canadian grassroots movement working for justice and equality for women in the Catholic Church, in the larger world, and for the care of creation.

If yes, we invite you to join us!

Remembering Jimmy Carter

January 7th, 2025

Together with people around the world, CNWE members mourn the death of former US President and humanitarian Jimmy Carter. We also remember, honour and celebrate his life, and remember his advocacy for women’s equality in the religions of the world, and in society.

CNWE Voices

Rising for Reform

The second session of the Synod on Synodality began on October 2, 2024 in Rome and CNWE is participating once again! Two CNWE women, Rosemary Ganley and Susan Roll joined the Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC) group.

We invite you to join us virtually by visiting our Synod on Synodality page and our Statements page to keep up to date on our current activities in Rome.

As the Synod on Synodality process continues, CNWE members will be there as church – a visible presence for positive change!

With reform-minded Catholics from around the world, we continue to call for the equal participation of women in a renewing, accountable, and inclusive Catholic Church.
