Are churches or other religious organizations safe places to disclose that your intimate relationships involve violence?
Are agencies around New Brunswick safe places to disclose that you are a person of faith?
Do we understand the unique needs of religious women and families that are caught in a web of violence?
What are some ways that women can respond to women of faith whose lives are impacted by violence?
Two members of the RAVE Team will discuss evidence for a continued holy hush on matters of abuse in families of faith
and growing reasons to believe that the silence can and will be shattered.
Partnerships between communities of faith and community-based agencies are essential components in highlighting these issues.
The session will focus in particular on ways to build bridges, and will be of interest to:
- advocates and community-based service providers who encounter people of deep faith who are seeking their help;
- religious leaders who encounter abuse in the family context; and
- faith community members who wish to learn more about issues of family violence.
