It is a difficult issue
Dealing with it will be messy and will take time. Yet we want to encourage churches to offer healing and refuge. We want to help churches link into the professional services on offer. We want to see the church as a place where women and men work together to take action to prevent violence.
Restored is an international Christian alliance working in partnership to promote healthy, biblical relationships between men and women and to end violence against women. Restored aims to raise awareness of male violence and equip the church to stop it happening. We want to see churches and communities built on restored relationships where women are free from violence and the fear of violence by men.
