The LUCSA Gender Justice Program was recently formed as way for LUCSA to work to promote gender equality and engage in the women's empowerment movement in Southern Africa. The program will serve in a number of ways including within the roles of advocacy and the facilitation of regional workshops.
The LUCSA Female Theologians Forum (FTF) is a group that currently operates within the LUCSA Gender Justice Program. This group of female pastors from around the sub-region gather to discuss issues related to empowerment, women's rights, strengthening the role of women within the church and society, and sharing the challenges they face as sisters in Christ.
The coordination of the LUCSA Gender Justice Program is facilitated through the Women In Church And Society (WICAS) project. This project provides a forum for women of varying Christian traditions to come together to engage and share their beliefs in order to play a more active role in society, open up ecumenical dialogue and forge a greater sense of unity.
Though this program is just beginning to develop its role within the context of LUCSA, it has already started to make a vital impact on the lives of many in the sub-region. We invite you to join us as we continue to promote gender rights within Southern Africa and beyond.
