“Thursdays in Black grew out of the World Council of Churches (WCC) Decade of Churches in Solidarity with Women (1988-1998), ” said WCC. “Thursdays in Black” is a movement that urges people to stop violence against women. The ecumenical partners and the PCT delegates wear black in the 63rd General Assembly in order to declare that we are part of the global movement “resisting attitudes and practices that permit rape and violence”. |
