is it true?

I am so sad. Our spiritual leaders around the world feel that we have let women down. At a national conference Desmund Tutu gave the following statement:

"We have come together as the new WFDA because new solutions and energy are needed to empower women and end poverty. Despite its global leadership on human rights and humanitarian aid,
the faith community has failed to champion gender justice
...[and interfaith leaders] must join with leaders of other sectors to press for more resources...and address the deep injustice of extreme poverty borne so heavily by women." For Archbishop Desmond Tutu's Remarks click here.

is it true?

I've been following this organizations work. It's extraordinary. They're gathering all kinds of people to assist with the issues women face all over the globe. Will there ever be a day ... when we can fully say we champion gender justice?
