Help for women affected by violence in Asia
PERUATI, Network of Women Theologians in Indonesia
The Network of Women Theologians in Indonesia (PERUATI) is engaged both in theological discourse and very concretely in the community. It fights against discrimination and injustice as well as violence against women and children. The many cases of domestic violence, human trafficking and exploitation confirm PERUATI's commitment to further strengthen and expand its national women's network. Mission 21 supports the women's empowerment programs to overcome violence, as well as the efforts of women theologians to make a significant contribution to contextualizing and enhancing the quality of theological education and training. PERUATI was founded in 1995 after a seminar of the Women's Office of the PGI (Federation of Protestant Churches) and the Association of Indonesian Theological Schools (PERSETIA).
