End the Silence. Acknowledge Dignity

An evening ends; what it sets in motion does not have to. The talks, the film, and what the small groups raised and committed to are gathered here not as minutes, but as a record of what became possible once a room of people knew what they were looking at.

Some commitments have already been kept: one participant has written to La Croix about the silence of the French press on obstetric fistula.

Obstetric fistula is preventable. That is the whole reason for hope, and the whole reason to act.

The report also carries the links to the WCC Guide for Churches and to the slides from the evening.
