In communities across Liberia, faith leaders are stepping into a new and powerful role — champions for safety, dignity, and equality. Through ECLRD’s programs, pastors, mothers’ unions, youth ministers, and church workers are learning how to identify violence, support survivors, and challenge harmful cultural norms.
What makes faith leaders so influential is simple: people listen to them. Their voices carry hope, authority, and compassion. When a pastor speaks against violence, the entire community hears a new message — one that promotes accountability, healing, and protection.
ECLRD equips these leaders with training in gender equality, survivor support, and positive masculinity, turning sanctuaries into safe spaces and sermons into tools for social change. Faith is becoming a force not just for worship, but for justice. And communities are transforming from within.
