A Toolkit To Work Together For Lasting Change
The National Episcopal Church Women (NECW) Board Social Justice Committee is joining hands with Episcopal Relief & Development to answer a shared call: to uplift women and girls everywhere and help them thrive in safety, dignity, and opportunity. Together, we invite our faith communities, families, and friends to engage in this transformative work through a powerful and flexible collaborative toolkit.
This initiative calls us to action — to empower women, strengthen economic stability, cultivate women leaders, and work boldly to reduce violence in all its forms. Grounded in faith and justice, the Social Justice Committee has also lifted up two urgent commitments within this effort: the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and advocacy for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
We are called not only to care, but to act. This toolkit offers a meaningful pathway to become part of the solution. A simple yet impactful first step is completing the Wellness of Women & Girls in Your Community survey (page 9), helping us listen deeply and discern where our communities are most needed.
Episcopal Relief & Development invites us to engage through four guiding priorities:
Joy and Wonder – Faithfully nurturing early childhood development
Grace, Justice & Hope – Standing with women and girls everywhere
Nurture & Sustain – Building resilience through climate-focused action
Restore & Renew – Responding with compassion when disaster strikes
We encourage you to explore the full Episcopal Relief & Development toolkit — a rich collection of prayers, studies, outreach ideas, and resources from across the Church — and to let it inspire faithful action rooted in love, justice, and hope.
