Who We Are

We want to equip Christian women in every sphere of life - church, community, family and business - to contribute effectively to God’s purposes and plans. We aim to encourage and connect women leaders of all ages to develop their gifting and talent, to act strategically and be a voice on issues impacting women and girls. The Women’s Commission is a network of the World Evangelical Alliance and has links to over 500 million when across the globe.

Who We Are

We want to develop Godly leadership in women so they are confidently using their gifts and contributing fully to the life of the Church

We want to see sound Biblical literacy on gender and equality

We want to respond to issues affecting women and girls such as family, violence, trafficking, persecution and health

We want to encourage men and women to work together, appreciating and championing each other.

We are a network and provide space for women from many different traditions and organisations to come together to learn from, and resource, each other.

We are a founding partner of Rise in Strength (riseinstrength.net) which is a platform for women in international leadership.

The Call to All Christians is a prophetic statement setting out what evangelical women across the world want to declare about the experiences of women and girls.
