'16 Days of Activism to End Violence against Women!'From peace in the home to peace in the world: Let’s challenge militarism and end violence against women.” 25 November-10 December 2012
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
We invite you to kindly participate in the '16 Days of Activism to End Violence against Women!' which is a common 16-day global movement of reflection, prayer and action towards overcoming violence against women in church and society, promoted by The World Council of Churches (WCC), The World YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association) and the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF).
The CCA-EGY is also encouraging your participation as it challenges us to reflect on the collective responsibility of every individual, cutting across cultural, social, political and geographic divides, to ensure that violence is eliminated from the world both in word and deed. This also reminds us of the atrocities women have to suffer because of their bold and courageous stands on controversial issues, the latest being young Malala, the Pakistani girl who defended the right of a girl child to education; while some have to suffer in silence, within the four walls of their homes.
The EGY Desk plans to have a collection of prayers, poems and reflections on these concerns. In addition a thought on 'Violence against Women' will be published on the 'Ecumenical Formation, Gender Justice and Youth empowerment page' till International Human Rights Day on December 10th.
Please feel free to send prayers, reflections etc. to Communications desk: <susanjacob@cca.org.hk> or <sunila@cca.org.hk>
(Please read full report on EGY page)
