‘There’s much that Christian women can do to live out the IWD theme. We must be advocates for vulnerable, disadvantaged women and those denied their rights. We must promote equality – reminding women that they are made in the image of God, that they are fearfully and wonderfully made and they have a part to play in God’s created world,’ says Marcia Dixon.
I have a confession to make. It’s only in the past few years that I have paid full attention to International Women’s Day. This is partly because, in my work within the church tradition I was part of, IWD was not given much attention or celebrated. In addition, I have always, through my work, and my Christian witness, sought to support, celebrate and showcase the achievements of women. And due to my cultural and spiritual heritage, I feel impelled to support women.
