1 in 3 are abused
Mothers’ Union 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence and Global Day Global Day: 5th December 2020
Our global day is centred around the disturbing figure that “1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced domestic or sexual abuse” (World Health Organisation) and we want to use the Global Day and 16 Days of Activism to raise awareness of the issue and encourage more people in our communities to get involved and demand change. Mothers’ Union as a leading women’s organisation believe this figure of 1 in 3 to be unacceptable.
The global day is scheduled for 5th December 2020 and perhaps a branch or deanery could hold a prayer event in the morning ending with midday prayers via Zoom, if the church is not available due to Covid 19 restrictions and encourage members to involve their Church communities by producing resources (intercessions, sermon outline etc) that could be used the following day in Church on the 6th December.
Resources available on the MSH website for this include:
- Guide on how to get involved in No more 1 in 3 Global Day
- Intercessions and sermon outline for Global Day or Sunday following (6th December)
- Resources for churches – toilet signs, poster, info leaflet to signpost survivors to support
- How to have difficult conversations
- No more 1 in 3 Teapot/cup plant activity - this goes alongside our “No more 1 in 3” cup of tea reflection
- Creative prayer ideas / including how to hold an online zoom prayer meeting for 16 Days/Global Day
16 Days of Activism: 27th November – 10th December 2020
Resources available on the MSH website for this include:
- 16 Days Morning Prayer – to take place on the first day of the campaign
- 16 Days Evening Prayer – to take place on the final day of the campaign
