Section I.3 - Justice for Women and Children

This Conference resolves that each member Church represented make an intentional effort to:

(a) discover the ways in which women and children are affected and victimised by the political, economic, educational, cultural or religious systems in which they live;

(b) discover the ways in which criminal elements of our societies victimise and exploit women and children;

(c) praise the level of public (local, national and international) awareness about such abuses; and

(d) work toward eliminating abuses through co-operation with existing groups such as ECPAT (End Child Prostitution in Asian Tourism) and the monitoring agencies of the United Nations and World Council of Churches.
