We proclaim with one voice as national
spiritual and religious leaders that violence
against women exists in all communities,
including our own, and is morally, spiritually
and universally intolerable.
We acknowledge that our sacred texts,
traditions and values have too often been
misused to perpetuate and condone
abuse.
We commit ourselves to working toward the
day when all women will be safe and abuse will
be no more.
We draw upon our healing texts and
practices to help make our families and
societies whole.
Our religious and spiritual traditions
compel us to work for justice and the
eradication of violence against
women.
We call upon people of all religious and
spiritual traditions to join
us.

On April 5, 2006 forty-two national religious leaders
from around the country declared violence against women as
intolerable and pledged their commitment to its eradication.
The National Declaration by Religious Leaders to Address
Violence Against Women will be distributed to every battered
women's program in the U.S. Women will see this list and
determine whether their faith community supports them in
seeking safety for themselves and their children. When people
of faith join with other community leaders to address domestic
violence, we will see ancient roadblocks turn into resources
that save lives and bring healing. Please join other people of
faith in signing the Declaration.
