“Violence against women breaks the fifth commandment. It is a sin, a crime and a serious social problem. It is not only an individual, private or family matter ... let us work together as men and women of faith for a truly non-violent society that respects the equality, integrity and dignity of all persons. Let us break the cycle of violence and enable women to live without fear.”

A statement by The Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops - 1991
