On the occasion of the World Tourism Day, which will be celebrated tomorrow, "the intolerable scandal of a type of sex tourism that humiliates women by practically enslaving them" "must be denounced". It was written by card. Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of State, in a message to the Secretary General of the World Tourism Organisation on the occasion of the Day that will be celebrated tomorrow about "Tourism: doors open to women". "We must writes the cardinal do all that it takes for tourism not to be swept away by such a draft, but for it to always aim at being an opportunity for a fruitful dialogue between different civilisations, that, through such an exchange, can mutually ennoble and enrich each other". In the message, the Holy See also denounces the "state of minority and strong injustice" in which women are, often the victims of persistent "stereotypes and the traditional attribution of subordinate roles". "We must work hard writes the Secretary of State for the actual equality of women’s rights, ensuring women equal working conditions, religious freedom, the respect of maternity-related needs, the payment of a fairly remunerative salary".
