Use the toolkit—Restoring Dignity: A Toolkit for Religious Communities to End Violence Against Women

This Toolkit, developed by Religions for Peace is an important resource for education and awareness. It affirms the centrality of mobilizing religious infrastructures, assets and resources for action in response to violence against women. Section I of the Toolkit includes background information on violence against women that can help people of faith educate themselves about the issue, as well as enable them to educate others.

Section II of the toolkit, Religious Communities in Action, provides practical resources and tools for people of faith to use their religious background and moral and spiritual capital to take actions to eliminate violence against women. Sample resources and tools include religious principles that condemn violence against women; education and awareness; prevention; advocacy; organizing an inter-religious retreat; support and care; addressing justice: ending impunity; partnering with the media; and monitoring and evaluation. Faith communities and religious leaders can use these tools, unite across faith lines and around the globe to defend and restore the inviolable rights and dignity of women and girls.
