Reports have emerged that crossbow killer, Clifford Kyle, accessed misogynistic content from Andrew Tate before raping and murdering his ex-girlfriend, and killing her sister and mother. These heartbreaking stories, along with others from inside the Church, demonstrate the need to ensure women’s equality and safety are prioritised, says Emma Hide, writing on the eve of International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day is a great opportunity for the Church to celebrate God’s transformative work in and through women. But as recent news stories show - from both within and outside the Church walls - there is still much work to be done to confront the sexism women face.
Take a moment and think about the women who serve diligently, lead and spearhead ministries in your church. Those who inspire with their strength, pray for others and support people in their faith journey. Why not send a woman you know a message of encouragement - or share this one – this weekend?
I want to give special recognition to the women mentioned in this article, and all those who have courageously shared their experiences of sexism and abuse in the Church. Thank you to the men and women who work tirelessly for a safer, better world for women.
