Seven Weeks for Water 2025, week 7: "Thirsty for justice"

The seventh and last reflection of the Seven Weeks for Water 2025 of the WCC’s Ecumenical Water Network is written jointly by Frances Namoumou and Netani Rika. In the following reflection, they have analysed the water scarcity situation in the Pacific region, worsened by climate change, with a justice perspective from the narratives of the persistent widow of the Bible. They challenge us not to give up our “thirst for justice” under any circumstances.
