  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women and girls met with European politicians last week but reportedly encountered resistance over her opposition to the idea of prostitution and pornography being considered normal work.

The visit to Strasbourg, France, was hosted by the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), a Christian legal rights non-governmental organization.

Reem Alsalem, from Jordan, who has served as U.N. special rapporteur since 2021, was interviewed during her visit by Grégor Puppinck, ECLJ director, about her report, “Prostitution and Violence Against Women and Girls,” published last July, as reported by Christian Daily International.
