WORLDCHRISTIAN CONCERN

Justice is doing what God declares to be right and defending those being wronged. We believe God has called WorldChristian Concern to be defenders of the defenseless, and a voice to the voiceless. We will be protectors of those being wronged. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9 Millions of women and children around the world are the victims of rape, incest, abuse and trafficking. These women and their children are often powerless and destitute. They are often among the poorest of the poor. They cannot speak for themselves; they need someone to speak for them and defend their rights. At WCC we believe our role is also to support women and children who find themselves in these kinds of situations. We do this in Meso-America, Africa and the South Pacific by supporting ministries that rescue women from unsafe settings, restore them spiritually, emotionally and physically, and provide them with life skills that enable them to be economically empowered. We also support the training of women who walk alongside victims of abuse and trafficking.
