"We have our work cut out for us"

If women will not support each other to step up to the pulpit or become engaged in politics, then gender equality will not be a priority issue for leaders both in the church and in government, says Eppie Marecheau, Christian educator and president of the Christian Council for Caribbean Women.

Thousands of people are communicating this message via statements, posts and tweets on social media, and even with earnest conversations with their neighbors.
