Support the Community and Churches in Pakistan in Facing Domestic Violence

Posted on by 施達基金會

[ ‘SHARE’ Jan-Feb 2014 – Who Is Willing to Be Their Neighbour? ] STEP INTO THE WORLD

project

In Pakistan, women are often victims of domestic violence and they are traumatised both physically and mentally. Yet, the society they live in rarely acknowledge the situation.

CEDAR’s partner CGDC launched amongst churches in Pakistan the first ever project that focuses on women abuse, and advocates on Christian family values. It also teaches what the bible says about family violence. In the first six months of project period, CGDC provided related trainings in four churches and held a nation-wide conference against violence on women.

Partner will continue their advocacy in Pakistan seeking to eliminate any form of women abuses:

  • mobilising local churches to care for and support affected families through visits, seminars and conferences;
  • holding nation-wide conferences for more awareness on how to respond to and prevent women abuses;
  • collaborating with organisations and churches in raising community awareness and understanding of women abuses.

Please support the ministry of CGDC, bringing to the vulnerable women in Pakistan safety and dignity!

[ePrayer – Pray for violence against women in Pakistan to cease]

Praise God that good progress has been made so far on the Violence Against Women Prevention Project by partner CGDC. This project has set an example for churches in Pakistan to speak out on Violence Against Women (VAM) with a focus on promoting Christian family life and teaching people what the Bible says about domestic abuse. In the first 6 months, pastors in 4 churches were trained to counsel victims and deal with perpetrators; 31 field visits were conducted. A video documentary will be produced by this August, hope that it will be completed on time.

Pray for violence against women in Pakistan to cease:

  • Pray for the many visits and family counselling activities to be done;
  • Give thanks: on the First National Conference on VAW, delegates from 3 provinces participated and they found it informative and eye opening;
  • There are many requests for VAW sessions to be launched in other areas. Pray that many different district areas can join this project in the next phase.

On 1 and 2 March 2013 CEDAR’s partner CGDC organised a National Conference on SAY No to Violence Against Women and thank God it went very productive and fruitful. 30 delegates from 3 provinces participated in the conference. Theme tracks were: What Bible Says about Domestic Abuse, Understanding Domestic Violence, Do’s and Don’ts for supporting a victim and dealing with perpetrators, Emotional Health in Families and Christian Family Life. All delegates went back with work plans and will share the learning with other staff at work. CGDC plans to keep in touch with all delegates and also supports innovative ideas to SAY No to Violence Against Women.

Pray for ending violence against women in Pakistan:

  • Pray for follow up work and documentation after the conference;
  • Pray that delegates can effectively bring awareness to their churches, NGOs and communities, and to initiate action plan on ending violence against women in their societies.
