For decades we have experienced violence against women and throughout these years we continue to see the increase in violence in our Puerto Rican society. The events of Hurricane Maria, earthquakes and the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the situation.
“I thank you for your service,” Rhashell D. Hunter, acting co-executive director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency (PMA), told a predominantly female audience at the Women’s Orientation Breakfast Saturday.
Hunter expressed gratitude for all Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) members who provide energy, wisdom, insight and responsible leadership.
How the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) relates to public policy was the theme of the March 23-24 meeting here of the Advocacy Committee for Women’s Concerns as the group came to the nation’s capital.
