WOMEN IN ACTION

Who is Tamar?

You may be wondering who is Tamar and why we need to save her!

I am very pleased to introduce to you our new WiA campaign that will be launched at a special meeting in Soweto, on 9th August, 2010. We will be taking a stand against the Abuse of Women and Children in our society and we will be looking at the matter, not from a feminist but from a feminine perspective, within the context of the Holy Bible and examining the purpose for which God has created women.

Tamar, as the Bible records in 2 Samuel 13:1-21, was one of David’s daughters who was abused by her own brother, Amnon. There are many Tamars all around us being physically, sexually and emotionally abused. Families are devastated as a result of it, lives are shattered by abuse and dreams are destroyed by regret and pain.

We will celebrate Women’s Day holding up the banner of peace. We will focus on awareness and bring comfort to those who have been victims of this experience. We count on you to support this campaign.

This is our Tamar, the symbol for our campaign. Watch this space to learn more about it. From now on, make your decision and help us to “Save a Tamar”.
