Why I'm fundraising for women and girls in crisis
I'm a priest in the Anglican Church and I'm passionate about the freedom and rights of women and children around the world. My faith is important to me, and I believe Jesus came to give freedom to the oppressed. It breaks my heart to see and hear stories of women and children around the world who are affected by war and whose right to freedom are ignored. This is a cause I support whole-heartedly.
There are 614 million women and girls living in conflict affected areas today. From Palestine to Ukraine, Haiti, Sudan, and Afghanistan, their numbers are going up, as geopolitical conflicts, climate change, health and food crises intensify.
I'm taking part in Trek for Rights 2025 in March and raising vital funds to help support the efforts of UN Women in partnership with local women’s organisations to provide critical services, hope and a lifeline to women and girls in war-torn countries and communities affected by natural disasters.
I'm doing the Trek (and not just fundraising) for the personal challenge it offers me in fitness and maintaining good mental health, as well as providing opportunities to share the word about the work of UN Women Australia in fundraising events - we must raise minimum of $3000 to attend the trek. I also want to show that my faith and Christian values prompt me to action in caring for women and girls who are vulnerable and oppressed in our world.
Will you consider supporting me and cheering me on by contributing to this cause?
*All donations go to UN Women Australia.
**I pay my own way for the travel and trek expenses.
