In light of the recent developments in the occupied territory of Palestine, marked by violence against civilians by an armed group that breached the fence that separated the Gaza of southern Israel and the declaration of a "State of War" by Israel that has escalated the violence, the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF) issues this public statement.
The escalation of violence, in addition to the imminent danger of a prolonged state of war, is a matter of grave concern to the WSCF. It has resulted in untold suffering for innocent civilians in the region, with a death toll numbering in the thousands.
We urgently call for respect for human rights and adherence to international law. It is imperative that violations of these principles cease immediately, and that all parties earnestly seek a peaceful and equitable resolution to the escalation.
WSCF friends: Support the WSCF Program Work!
Dear Senior Friends,
Warm greetings from WSCF! It is with deep appreciation for your long-standing support that I reach out to you today.
The World Student Christian Federation has a rich history of forming and uniting youth and students worldwide, embracing diversity, and practicing ecumenical principles. Our mission is rooted in the pursuit of justice, international solidarity, human dignity, and the care of the creation.
The recent WSCF 37th General Assembly (GA) reminded us of the profound impact we can collectively make on the world. The following themes - programmatic areas were discerned and approved by the GA: Climate and Economic Justice; Youth, Peace, and Security - Peacebuilding; Democracy, Human Rights, and Fundamentalisms; Identity, Diversity, Dialogue, and Gender Justice; and Youth Ecumenical Leadership.
To address these themes and make a lasting impact, WSCF will implement a range of strategies that cut across our programs: Biblical Theological Reflection; Youth Mobilization and Participation; Advocacy and Solidarity; Capacity Building and Strengthening of Movements. These strategies are the cornerstone of our work with youth and students worldwide for the upcoming years.
The programs are at the forefront of addressing pressing global issues, such as the urgency of climate and economic justice, or the uprising of fundamentalisms worldwide that challenge the human rights agenda advances, and the continued work on peacebuilding and gender equity. By including these themes in our daily activities, we can make a real difference in the lives of students and their communities worldwide, demonstrating our commitment to justice, international solidarity, and human dignity.
In addition, our mission intends to empower the current generation of students, through the new program Youth Ecumenical Leadership. WSCF believes that by equipping young leaders within Student Christian Movements (SCMs) and ecumenical groups, we empower them to become advocates for change both within their communities, churches, and beyond.

Time of renewed hope and faith
The “empty tomb” is the foundation of our hope for a just world. Easter, then, is the celebration of hope in a world that is increasingly becoming hopeless. Hope for a better and just world is the special privilege of the poor and the marginalised. The Cross was Jesus identification with the struggles of the oppressed and the Resurrection, its vindication.
Have a hope-filled Easter!
