Thursdays In Black - towards a world without rape and violence

by Anglican Church General Synod Office

The Anglican Church General Synod office says: "The Council for Ecumenism recently endorsed the WCC Ecumenical initiative “Thursdays in black”. The campaign grew out of the WCC Decade of Churches in which the stories of rape as a weapon of war, gender injustice, abuse, violence, and many tragedies, that grow outward from such violence, became all the more visible. But what also became visible was women’s resilience, agency and personal efforts to resist such violations."
