Dignity, human rights, and inhumane treatment of women and girls across the globe demands that we, people of faith and conscience, be unflinchingly clear on both the challenge and what our commitments must be to this cause.
The United Nations International Day of the Girl is a day declared in 2011:to help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm for goals to better girls’ lives, providing an opportunity for them to show leadership and reach their full potential. It’s a day when activist groups come together under the same goal to highlight, discuss, and take action to advance rights and opportunities for girls everywhere.The Parliament Declaration for the Dignity and the Human Rights of Women can be used as a guide in this work.
Please read it, and read it again, and join us in global collaboration between the Parliament of the World's Religions, the Charter for Compassion Women and Girls and Sistrum Spirit. In this spirit, Faith in Women was held Friday 14 October to discuss what's grown in the past one year since the historic Inaugural Women's Assembly of the 2015 Parliament of the World's Religions.
The details on how to join our collaborative global call, "The Role of Compassion in Owning Our Feminine Authority".
In Peace,
