What are the Christian charities that support women or girls?
International Women’s Day on 8th March is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women and commit to accelerate women’s equality.
If you’re interested in Christian charities who are focused on supporting women, we’ve compiled a list of 10 organisations for you to look into:
