Development, Security and Economic Justice:
What’s Gender Got to Do with It?
Gender's got a lot to do with it!
As Proverbs recognized long ago, women's contributions are integral to enriching social, religious, and family life. However -- in homes and communities, out in fields and marketplaces, along borders and in areas of conflict -- violence, poverty, and other social evils keep women from attaining their full potential.
As women and men of faith, we can be a formidable force for change! Come to Ecumenical Advocacy Days, March 25-28, 2011. During these days filled with worship and dialogue, we will be inspired and equipped to speak boldly on behalf of all God's daughters.
Together we'll advocate on Capitol Hill for women's physical and emotional safety, their economic security and freedom, and promote people-centered ecologically-sustainable development, economic justice and peace for the flourishing of all our communities.
Registration will open in September - Mark your calendar today to join us in Washington, DC in March 2011!
