The Dignity programme brings this reality out of the shadows and supports churches in grappling with the issues involved. To find out more about the background to the Dignity initiative click here.
A specially commissioned DVD accompanies this initiative to help leaders engage with scriptural wisdom on gender based violence (GBV) in all its forms. Its thought-provoking contents will equip individuals and congregations to understand the level of abuse encountered in communities worldwide, and to think through their responses.
