Launch of GLOBAL Multi-Religious Faith-in-Action COVID-19 Initiative
Campaign engages the world’s religious communities through Religions for Peace’s global, regional and national networks in a collective, multi-religious response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Religions for Peace (RfP) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), have launched a global Multi-Religious Faith-in-Action COVID-19 Campaign in order to involve religious leaders in prevention and assisting program connected with the worldwide COVID-19 crisis.
The campaign affirms the unique and influential roles of religious leaders and actors in influencing values, attitudes, behaviors and actions that affect the development and wellbeing of the world’s children.
As multitudes prepare for religious observances around Passover, Easter, Ramadan and Vaisakhi (Vesak), RfP and UNICEF will equip religious leaders to ensure the health and safety of their communities by supporting the development of virtual worship services, providing webinars on public health, facilitating effective engagement in national-level policy and programs, promoting messaging through social media campaigns, and advancing projects to counter stigma and discrimination.
