CEC webinars show how to reduce poverty, empower women, ensure quality care for children, promote healthy family, social, and natural environments, and improve business profits. The CEC brings together organizations and leaders for more effective economic and social policies at the federal, state, and local levels.

SAIV's international council includes leaders from every continent, and is engaging religious and other spiritual communities to stop this global pandemic of violence against women and children. SAIV works with faith communities to support survivors of intimate violence, and to implement a partnership system that ends intimate violence before it starts. We provide interdisciplinary resources for community members and leaders to effect change.
