Women's Day, Women Faith Leaders and the Interfaith GBV Strategy 2030

The next few months are packed with exciting opportunities for growth and collaboration as we are gearing up for the next level of joint action. Every action, however big or small, is part of growing the movement.

 Don’t miss this meeting, where you are invited to join activities and to share your idea for a collaborative activity for others to join with you!

Women’s Month is here again! Will it bring change? Probably not.

But the national theme: “Celebrating 30 Years of Democracy for Women’s Development” raises questions about whether women’s development has been taken seriously enough by us as the interfaith sector? So our reflection theme is:

Celebrating Women Faith Leaders and Counting the Cost:
Co-Option or Transformation?
