Prayers for Peacemakers: Pray for those who suffer on the basis of gender

Pray for those who suffer injustice and oppression on the basis of gender. Today is International Women's Day, an opportunity for us all to redouble our efforts to achieve equality — women do two-thirds of the world’s work, receive 10% of the world’s income and own 1% of the means of production. Jesus broke cultural, ethnic and gender barriers, ministering to women and treating each one as a person. May we follow this example and spur others to do the same.
