IRD Activities
- Meetings
WIC aims to regularly bring Muslim and Christian women together to grow in understanding and friendship and to discuss diverse themes related to conflict, peace and women's common concerns
- Trainings and Workshops
The aim is to provide training and experience from interfaith peace building and spirituality to the leaders of women's faith groups through workshops and resource materials so that they in turn can transmit this training to the members of their faith groups. WIC aims to sensitize key stakeholders of women's faith groups, including male religious, traditional and political leaders, about the need for interreligious dialogue and for women's participation in the same. Another activity is to reach out to market women, youth groups, farmers and other grassroots groups to sensitize them about the need for us to collaborate with one another as people of faith
- Youth Interfaith Council
WIC encourages the youth and other members of the faith communities to be ambassadors of faith and of dialogue particularly through testimony and commitment to the own faith community and to the Interfaith Council.
