PRAY: Vulnerable. Suffering. Persecuted. What could be worse?

Today, 8 March, is International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.

Although it’s a global day celebrating women, the reality is that in many countries women are viewed as second class citizens. In places like the Middle East, Christian women are made to feel worthless by persecution.

The Gender Report 2024 reveals one key factor that intensifies the persecution of Christians…

Insecurity.

War, displacement, economic collapse and political instability make vulnerable people more vulnerable. Armed conflict and criminal violence fan the flames of persecution. The impact is shocking.

Men suffer in visible, severe ways. For women, persecution is complex, hidden and violent.

Under attack

Moreover, according to the report, it’s women’s value which is under attack.

Female believers are shamed by sexual violence, devalued by forced marriage, and stripped of their identity by the loss of family, work and independence. Often, their suffering is hidden behind closed doors.

But no woman should be made to feel worthless. And no man or woman should worry about their life because of persecution.

Please pray for your persecuted family as they risk everything for Christ.
