Let’s End Gendercide
“That one-third of the world’s women are deprived of their right to bear girls is the biggest women’s rights abuse on earth. This is the true War on Women, and it deserves a passionate response.” -Reggie Littlejohn
Please join me on June 2, 2013 for a day of spiritual solidarity to demonstrate our sympathy, sorrow, love, and concern for the world’s victims of gendercide.
“We can tip the bowls of Heaven. When interceding tears meet with God’s, they have the power to alter society and generations to come, to change governments and deliver people and nations caught in unbelievable situations. This is justice and this is how women fight!” -Evangeline Johnson
