Welcome to
HEARD
HEARD is an Asian Christian Resource Center for preventing, understanding and stopping domestic abuse in families. We believe God has heard the cries of the abused wife, child, woman and man and calls upon the church and christian community to act in His Name
Domestic abuse is a sin. It is a pattern of negative behaviors used by a family member to gain power and control over another household member. Its spectrum can include physical, emotional, sexual, finance and spiritual abuses. This is contrary to the Christian faith and way of living. It pains God that this is happening. He wants it stopped.

Asian Pastors’ Consultation on Domestic Abuse
On July 24, 2023, an Asian-wide Consultation was held to bring together pastors, elders, Christian NGOs and leaders to dialogue on steps that can be taken by the Church to help stop domestic abuse in christian homes. Over 50 pastors and leaders from across Asia from Pakistan to Mongolia attended and there was a good sense of unity and resolve to do what it takes.
One key action was the CALL to ratify the STOP DOMESTIC ABUSE CHARTER for each local church.
The AEA (Asia Evangelical Alliance) calls upon the local churches in Asia to create awareness on this issue, take proactive preventive steps within their family units and support perpetrators and victims towards recovery and healing.
One of the first steps that Pastors, Elders and Leaders can take is to ratify the Stop Domestic Abuse Charter. By ratifying and agreeing to the Charter, you will be joining a movement of Asian churches working together to end domestic abuse.
