Taking action to keep multicultural communities safe:
Faith and community leaders' training

Faith leaders against family, domestic and sexual violence

In this short video, faith leaders send a clear and compassionate message: no one is ever required to stay in an abusive relationship, and such harm is never justified or condoned by faith. As you watch, consider how faith leaders can play a powerful role in creating safe, respectful communities where people feel supported to seek help.
