Engage with Thursdays in Black!

Join Global Ministries in observing Thursdays in Black. The Thursdays in Black campaign, started by the World Council of Churches, aims to advocate for and dream of a world without gender-based violence.

In every country, gender-based violence is a tragic reality. This violence is frequently hidden, and survivors are often silent, fearing stigma and further violence.

We all have a responsibility to speak out against violence and to ensure that all humans are safe from rape and violence in all places in our societies.

The campaign is simple but profound. Wear black on Thursdays. Declare that you are part of the global movement resisting attitudes and practices that permit rape and violence. Share your Thursdays in Black selfies on social media.

Watch these recordings from the first ever Thursdays in Black Summit, led by Disciples and UCC leaders.
