Declare Faith in Women

Join us in supporting the Declaration for the Dignity and Human Rights of Women, to be issued at the Women’s Plenary, by adding your signature and making a personal commitment, along with thousands of others.

"Being treated justly and with respect should not depend on whether one is male or female. .. the teachings of the world’s religions universally call for compassionate and equitable treatment of all—both men and women."

"There is no religion that despises women, for hatred and oppression cannot come from the heart of God, or Goddess, or Holy Mother/Father, nor flow from that which is Divine, the Creator, the One, the Source, the All."

"We commit ourselves to this collective undertaking to heal the heart of our humanity by releasing women, girls, men, and boys from the bondage of gender-based discrimination and violence. We do so with hope and with faith in our future."
