Are Christians really the biggest oppressors of
women on the planet?
Listening to popular media would make you think so...
But is it true?
Hardly.
Since
the coming of Christ, Christians have been the greatest liberators of women the world has seen.
For example:
A century ago young girls in China used to have their feet bound... because men liked the way it made them walk when they grew up.
Today, foot binding is illegal in China -- thanks to the tireless efforts of Christian missionaries.
But women... all across the world... continue to be exploited in other ways...
Through activities
like...
Abortion...
Human trafficking...
And FGM (female genital mutilation).
This last practice has
been common in places like Africa and the Middle East... but recently cases have been showing up in Muslim communities in America.
So... how can these activities be stopped?
The same way foot binding was put to an end...
By Christians acting with courage and compassion to free women who are suffering from real oppression.
