Prayer for International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women

The Vice-President, Deacon Kerry Scarlett, has written this prayer to mark the day.

Loving God
In Jesus, we see you recognise and affirm the value and dignity of women and girls
Challenging those who sought to diminish or harm our flourishing
We pray for women and girls
who have experienced gender based violence.
We give thanks for those in government, in our communities, in our own churches,
who challenge the cultures and systems through which misogyny and violence thrive.
We ask forgiveness for the times when we have not listened, have not learned,
have not stood in solidarity with women experiencing violence and discrimination.
Give us the courage and strength to listen, to learn,
So that all may flourish, knowing we are precious in your sight

Amen.
