Creating a Safer Space for Survivors of Violence
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a pressing issue that affects many, encompassing stalking, rape, sexual assault, domestic abuse, sexual exploitation, and harassment.
According to statistics, women are far more likely to be impacted by these crimes. The news is filled with disturbing stories, from the grooming gangs inquiry to scandals surrounding public figures.
However, VAWG can also have a subtle impact on women, often avoiding the headlines. As one woman notes,
many women have had negative experiences related to VAWG, which is a lamentable reality.
As Christians, we cannot ignore this issue. Our faith is rooted in a God of justice, and the Bible emphasizes the sanctity of life and the inherent dignity of each individual as an image bearer of Christ.
