The World Council of Churches (WCC) is inviting Christians across the world to join in a special prayer for women who are facing gender-based violence.
Each Thursday, beginning today, 31 May, the WCC will release, via its website and social media, a prayer shared by members of ‘pilgrim teams’ who have been visiting communities in conflict, and hearing the stories of women who are facing sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence and other injustices.
These ‘pilgrim prayers’ will reflect the experiences of pilgrim team members who, during the past two years, have witnessed the deep wounds among women in conflict situations.
