Mientras el Rev. Frank Chikane dirigió el Consejo Sudafricano de Iglesias (SACC, por sus siglas en inglés) en su denuncia de las injusticias del sistema del apartheid, la organización no cejó en sus esfuerzos, ni siquiera después del atentado que redujo su sede a escombros en los años ochenta.

Chikane ha denunciado injusticias en múltiples lugares del mundo. El departamento de comunicación del CMI le pidió que volviera la vista atrás sobre su mandato en la CIAI y sobre el constante llamado de las iglesias a poner fin a las injusticias que afectan hoy al mundo.

Colaboración UNICEF-CMI 2015 - 2021: Ejemplos y aspectos destacados de los Compromisos de las iglesias con la niñez

En 2013, el CMI adoptó una declaración conjunta, “Poner a los niños en el centro”, y se asoció con UNICEF para desarrollar la capacidad de sus iglesias miembros y asociados ecuménicos para (1) proteger a la niñez y la adolescencia y (2) promover la participación significativa de la niñez y (3) su compromiso en las iniciativas de justicia climática.

UNICEF se asoció al CMI para fortalecer su compromiso efectivo con los actores religiosos para mejorar el bienestar de la niñez. Los actores religiosos pueden llegar a los/las niños/as más vulnerables y, a menudo, cuentan con la confianza, la influencia moral y la capacidad para hacerlo. Gracias a esta asociación, se puede llegar a un mayor número de asociados comunitarios conectados localmente.

Esta publicación destaca las actividades y los logros clave de 2015 a 2021.
