Celebrating the International Day of Non-Violence against women in La Vizcachera......

- Date of publication 02-11-2008
A peaceful walk through our rudimentary streets celebrating the dignity of women and the on-going struggle for united, happy families.....

    In an area where many adults and children suffer tragic consequences of the multiple expressions of violence, our parish, the local parish Clinic together with several members of Caritas Peru organized a peace walk through the streets of our rural community proclaiming the dignity and rights of women and children too often oppressed by the consequences of violence.  Many carried banners, posters or balloons calling out the need for increased harmony, equality and justice for every human being while evoking the unique contributions of women as they seek out a way of life with happier family relationships, recognition of their value and role in society as well as in the mission and life of the Church!

    Many people came from each of our six parish communities to support, inform and converse with each other and the many residents of La Vizcachera who joined in the march or came out of their homes to ask questions or request further information in view of building a society free of violence.  A mutual sharing took place with time set aside for formal prayer, time to listen to the stories of women and children willing to share their experiences in the everyday journey towards more meaningful dialogue and ever more harmonious, respectful relationships in families, the workplace, the Church and with all peoples.

    We also enjoyed several traditional dances and light refreshments as a significant part of our time together!
