Understanding and Overcoming
Gender-Based Violence
A six week course based on the award winning* book
“Scars across Humanity” by Elaine Storkey
The Pressing Red Course aims to raise awareness, equip participants, and promote action about one of the most important and pressing issues of our world – the global scope of violence against women.
Spread over six sessions, each one includes videos from Christian organisations working within that field, discussion, a Bible study and practical steps you can take to make a difference.
To get the most out of the course, participants are expected to read the relevant chapters of Elaine Storkey’s book “Scars Across Humanity” which each session is based on.
We encourage all genders to join the course and be part of the conversation!
