A Lenten study on the global struggle to end violence against women

From Cries of Desperation to Stories of Hope

A Lenten study on the global struggle to end violence against women

  • How can an illiterate Dalit woman in India find the courage to say ‘Now we are fearless’?
  • How can a young Colombian woman raised in a shanty town find joy and health?
  • How can a South African man find the courage to repent of his violence against his wife?

This study is a chance to

  • Follow the stories, week by week, and learn how women are overcoming the violence they face.
  • Use Lent as a time to remember Jesus’ time in the wilderness, his passion and his death.
  • Think about ways in which Christians can make the good news of the Resurrection a reality in people’s lives.
  • Join the struggle to end violence and bring justice and peace to those who suffer.
