Pope Francis has decried violence and prejudice against women and says granting equal pay and opportunities could help create a more peaceful and sustainable world.

In a book preface published by the Vatican News website on International Women’s Day, Francis stressed the differences between men and women but called for “equality in diversity” on “a playing field open to all players.”

He also referred briefly to Women’s Day at the end of his weekly audience in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, asking the crowd for “an applause for all women, because they deserve it.” “Women’s thinking is different from men’s,” the Pope wrote in the preface to a book entitled: More Women’s Leadership for a Better World.

“Women know that they give birth in pain to achieve a great joy: to give life and open vast, new horizons. That is why women want peace, always.”
