Make a difference for women and girls in the Pacific through gender justice
"When theology is life-giving and affirms the dignity of all people, it becomes a powerful force for change.
Churches are already deeply embedded in their communities. By building their capacity and connection across the region, we’re equipping them to lead efforts for gender equality, social justice and family safety in ways that are culturally grounded and sustainable."
Rev Siera Bird, UnitingWorld’s Manager for Gender Equality and Safeguarding
Across the Pacific, churches are on the frontlines of efforts to end gender-based violence and promote equality. Each church brings unique strengths to the work of change, and by collaborating more closely, they can build on each other’s progress and create greater impact together.
In response, UnitingWorld and its partners have launched the Oceania Faith Communities Advancing Safety and Equality project, with support from the Pacific Women Lead at the Pacific Community (PWL at SPC) program.
Women and girls will be the ultimate beneficiaries, as churches deepen their commitment to safety, inclusion and the promotion of women’s leadership.
