Praying for Peace (2008)

As part of the Praying for Peace Project, GLDVP has produced Domestic Violence and Faith: a toolkit for Faith Leaders, Faith Organisations and Members of Faith Communities to provide faith leaders, workers and community members with the knowledge and resources to address domestic violence.

The toolkit aims to provide the tools to:

  • Effectively and appropriately support those affected by domestic violence, and/or
  • Try to respond effectively to perpetrators, and/or
  • Address social tolerance of domestic violence.

The toolkit was launched on 1 April 2008 at a multi-faith dialogue event on domestic violence. To order your hardcopy toolkit you can download and complete this order form (Word, 198kb).
