Great to see this recognition

The Revd Domnic Misolo, an Anglican priest from Kenya and gender equality advocate, is set to join the Gender Working Group of the Multi-Faith Advisory Council.

The group brings together faith voices working to empower women and girls, challenge patriarchal norms and advance gender equality. It supports the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on Religion and Sustainable Development.

As founding director of the Institute for Faith and Gender Empowerment, the Domnic works with men and faith actors to promote biblical equality and positive masculinity and to prevent domestic abuse and gender-based violence.

He said: ‘By fostering dialogue and mutual respect, faith actors can help uplift gender equality as a shared moral responsibility.’

Important work on men and concepts of masculinities in our cultures

‘Thank you for being here and I'm sorry for my sexism’
This past week in Brasilia, 22 men from across the Anglican Church of Brazil (IEAB) met to discuss and reflect on the issue of men and masculinities. It's an important topic, especially in Brazil there is a machismo culture.
The men who gathered appreciated the time to reflect with one another, with some saying that they had changed by the end of the week.
One participant said, "When I arrived and saw a woman facilitating I thought 'what has a woman got to say to me about being a man?' It was a machismo response, but going through the week and the methodology used and participatory exercises and information has made me reflect that I was sexist. I have changed during this week. Thank you for being here and I'm sorry for my sexism''
The gathering was convened by the Anglican Alliance and led by Mandy Marshall, the Anglican Alliance’s senior adviser for gender justice. We are grateful to Christian Aid, whose support made this gathering possible.

It's important to advocate for the inclusion of faith in government strategies as people of faith are often the first places people disclose abuse. How is your church prepared?

An announcement from the Anglican Alliance

We are delighted to welcome Mandy Marshall back to the Anglican Alliance as Senior Advisor on Gender Justice.

Mandy brings deep experience, wisdom and commitment to this vital area of our shared mission: advancing gender justice, challenging gender-based violence, and helping churches and communities to reimagine power in ways that uphold dignity, safety and flourishing.

This work matters now more than ever. Recent research from the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities reminds us that shrinking civic space and gender injustice are deeply connected. As the report says: “The ground we stand on is contested, but it is not lost.”

For the Anglican Alliance, Gender Justice is central to sustainable development, advocacy, discipleship and the Church’s witness in the world. In this new role, Mandy will help strengthen our work alongside Mothers' Union and other Anglican partners, supporting learning, collaboration and practical action across the Communion.
We are grateful for Mandy’s continued leadership and invite friends, partners and supporters to stand with us as we push forward this vital work.

An important reflection on the push back on equality between women and men

At a pivotal moment for global gender justice, the Anglican Alliance's Director for Gender Justice, Mandy Marshall, offers an inside look at a tense and unprecedented session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), where hard-won commitments to gender equality faced significant challenges and unexpected votes.

Her reflection highlights both the fragility of progress and the growing risk of regression on women’s rights, while calling on individuals, churches, and communities to take action – through advocacy, prayer, and engagement – to ensure these commitments are upheld.

Commenting on how churches and individuals can respond, Mandy says: 'It requires all of us to lobby our own governments to implement the Agreed Conclusions and fully fund work to achieve gender equality, without redirecting funding from existing projects. It means we need to be ready to not only pray, but to act, to be present at the CSW (either in person or online) to make sure our voices are heard.'

A new resource from Kyria inviting us to 'think again' about key passages of scripture.

Take a look

"My prayer is that Think Again will help many to read Scripture with fresh humility, and to recover a vision of leadership that reflects the mutuality of the new creation. This is not a fringe issue, nor a finished one. It touches the heart of God and the credibility of the Church’s witness in the world.

The invitation before us is simple, but costly:
to look again,
to listen again,
and to allow the Word of God—read in the light of God’s redemptive story—to form communities where women and men lead together for the sake of the world God loves" - Terran Williams
