End the Silence: Interfaith Prayers for Violence Prevention within the home and the community

November 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

You are all invited to this coming ZOOM event organised by United Religions Initiative & Religions for Peace.

Join us for a powerful evening of unity, reflection, and hope. Violence affects all communities, yet patterns show a concerning reality: in Australia, 95% of those affected by violence experience harm at the hands of men. So far this year 71 women in Australia and many from New Zealand have died as a result of domestic violence.

United Religions Initiative and Religions for Peace Australia invite you to be part of a gathering with prayers, a presentation, and an open discussion on how our faith, spiritual, and ethnic communities can stand against violence and support women, children, and families at risk.

The evening will feature prayers and reflections from Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh faith leaders from New Zealand and Australia, inspiring talks on community action to protect and uplift, and open dialogue for ideas and shared commitments to safety.

All welcome to consider how people of faith and faith communities can end domestic violence.
