Let's all join our European Moravian women. Wear black next Thursday and advocate to end violence against women.

At the European Women's Conference we were all asked to wear black when we arrived. Here is the banner that stood at the front of the conference room. Janet Cooper spoke about the Unity Women's Desk of the Moravian Church work and the recent consultation about how we can all challenge gender based violence.

Thursdays in black. Join with sisters and brothers around the world each Thursday. Wear black and advocate for a world without r**e or violence.

In February this year the All Africa Conference of Churches officials stood together in black to mark Thursdays in Black.
