Our Commitment Against Abuse in Worldwide Marriage Encounter

At Worldwide Marriage Encounter, we are fully committed to the safety, respect, and dignity of all our members, as well as any participants or individuals involved in our activities. We recognise the seriousness of sexual, power, and conscience abuse, and we are dedicated to preventing, detecting, and responding to such acts effectively and with proper care.

Our Protocols

We follow the protocols established by the Vatican to handle reports of abuse, guiding us through the investigation of claims, the protection of victims, and holding perpetrators accountable. You can find more details in the Vatican’s Vademécum and the Apostolic Letter Vos estis lux mundi.

Furthermore, in cases where abuse is recognised as a crime in the country where it has occurred, we will adhere to all the legal processes and requirements of that country’s legislation. If the abuse is classified as a crime under Canon Law, we will notify the appropriate ecclesiastical authority.
