Be the one who sees her
The hidden persecution of Christian women
In the Middle East, the women of the persecuted church face a double persecution, both for their faith and their gender. Women face unimaginable pain, which is often hidden from the world around them. Show an abused Christian woman that she is seen, loved, and cared for by the body of Christ.

Why Persecution Matters
1 in 7 Christians worldwide are persecuted for following Jesus.
That’s 360 million Christians who are denied access to jobs and education, are arrested, attacked, and even killed for following Jesus.
We don’t work to end persecution. Instead, Open Doors exists to strengthen the persecuted church through it.
We are the body of Christ. When they hurt, we all hurt (1 Corinthians 12:26).
