Religious coalition condemns violence against women

 — June 8, 20068 juin 2006

Dozens of religious leaders from a broad array of faiths have signed a declaration calling violence against women “morally, spiritually and universally intolerable.” “While as people of faith we hold divergent opinions on a wide range of issues, today we proclaim with one voice that violence against women exists in all our communities and is intolerable,” said Rev. Marie Fortune, founder of Faith Trust Institute. The declaration was released April 4 and signed by representatives of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Jainist and Buddhist organizations. It is also available at www.faithtrustinstitutte.org.
