Am I My Sister’s Keeper
Raising awareness within the church community
Details of previous events

Initially, as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Skye Alexandra House hosted two impactful online events on December 10 and December 16, 2024 titled Am I My Sisters Keeper. These sessions focused on the role of the church in providing refuge and support for women and girls affected by gender-based violence. What began as a powerful conversation, Am I My Sisters Keeper has now developed into a key support group, dedicated to fostering ongoing dialogue, healing, and empowerment for survivors. Building on this momentum, Skye Alexandra House will continue to host regular events to provide guidance, resources, and a safe space for those in need.
A Safe Space for Reflection and Action Many women have prayed for a way out of violence, only to feel uncertain if their voices would be heard. With 1 in 3 women experiencing violence, faith communities play a crucial role in providing support—yet too often, survivors are met with silence. The Am I My Sisters Keeper events created a space for reflection, learning, and action, helping churches and communities become true havens for healing.
