General Commission on the Status and Role of Women

This website addresses the issues of sexual misconduct, abuse, and harassment by those entrusted with ministerial roles in the UMC.

If you or someone you care about has been sexually abused or harassed by a United Methodist pastor, or a layperson in leadership at a United Methodist church or related agency, we want to support you as you seek justice and healing.
