Women’s conference for justice

Justice at many levels will be the topic of discussion at a conference in Melton next month.

Hosted by the Grace Community Church, the Women for Justice Conference on October 4 will cover the topics of justice for our world, country, and community.

Grace Community Church women’s ministries leader Sue Waddell said women are often the ones that can drive justice in the family, but also be the victims.

She said the conference will tap into the desire within us to live in a just society.

“The first session is Justice for the World, and we have a speaker from Creature Kind who is going to talk about environmental issues and how we can support the world and make better choices,” Ms Waddell said.

She said the Justice for Country session will cover how we can make a more just country for all cultures.

Ms Waddell said the final part of the conference will include a panel discussion and a screening of Reclaimed Voices – a documentary produced by the ASPYA Foundation.

She said a $10 donation would be greatly appreciated and will cover the costs for refreshments, lunch, and a gift bag that will include information and pamphlets for local support organisations.

The conference will run from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, October 4 at the Grace Community Church at 15-17 Yuille Street, Melton.

Registrations must be made by September 28.
