Ecumenical Advocacy Days, March 25-28, 2011, in Washington, DC drew together over 700 persons representing over 50 national Christian organizations. Through worship and dialogue, we were inspired and equipped to speak boldly on behalf of of people-centered sustainable development and economic justice, physical safety, security and peacemaking, with a particular focus on those most impacted – women, girls and families.
In homes and communities, out in fields and marketplaces, along borders and in areas of conflict -- violence, poverty, and other social evils disproportionately affect women and girls keeping them from attaining their full potential and impacting the wholeness and vibrancy of the full community.
