Gender justice
Gender justice is a core principle of the Anglican Alliance – to see women and men, girls and boys living in just, equal and mutually supportive relationships, with each individual recognised as made in the image of God.
Mandy Marshall, the Anglican Communion’s Director for Gender Justice, is part of the Anglican Alliance team and we work closely with the Anglican Communion networks for women and the family. Each year, the Anglican Communion has a delegation at the United Nations Convention on the Status of Women, headed by Mandy.

Ending Gender Based Violence
In every region of the world the churches and agencies of the Anglican Communion are committed to ending sexual violence.
We are working together with different coalitions and campaigns to share these experiences, support the vulnerable and strengthen the Church’s witness.
16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
Every year, from 25 November to 10 December, we join with the International Anglican Women’s Network in encouraging the churches to take concrete steps to end violence against women and girls through the UN’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence campaign.
God’s Justice: Theology and Gender Based Violence can help churches and members everywhere live together in mutually loving relationships free of violence and abuse, as Jesus Christ taught. Written by scholars, clergy and laity from different parts of the Anglican Communion, the purpose of God’s Justice is to show how the Bible and Christian teachings can support just, loving and mutually respectful relationships, and to offer ways that churches can – and should – respond to gender-based injustice, abuse, and violence. God’s Justice is rooted in Resolution 16.02, passed by the Anglican Consultative Council in 2016, which encourages all provinces to help girls and boys, women and men, to participate in relationships “that reflect Christian values of love, dignity, and justice”.
Domestic Abuse and COVID-19: How Churches can respond contains a wealth of information about domestic violence that is still relevant in the aftermath of the pandemic.
