Esther Challenge 2027

What if women's safety and flourishing became everyone's responsibility?

A safe city is more than a place free from violence. It’s a place where women and girls can move freely, live with dignity, have their voices heard and participate fully in shaping their communities.

Faith calls us to seek the welfare of the cities we inhabit. 

Safer cities aren’t built by women alone. 

THE CITY WE BUILD TOGETHER

Creating communities where women and girls are safe, heard, respected and free to flourish.

Expect city-wide conversations, creative campaigns and opportunities to bring people together around a common purpose. From churches and neighbourhoods to workplaces, educational institutions and public spaces, we’ll explore practical ways to challenge harmful norms, strengthen support networks and create environments where women and girls can flourish.

Whether you’re a woman or man, a city leader, community builder, entrepreneur, student, professional or someone who cares about the future of your city, there’s a place for you in this conversation.

Because building safer cities takes all of us.
