Almighty and merciful God,  we pray for women across the world who are suffering from violence. Help us to be agents of transformation and promote justice and equality for women around the world. Open our eyes Lord so we can see the truth, the words to speak the truth, and the courage to eradicate a world culture in which violence against women is tolerated.  Help us remember that vision without action is a daydream.

God  of life, lead us to justice and peace.   Amen
