KING ALPHA & QUEEN OMEGA THEOCRACY DAUGHTERS

To encourage every woman to give Ises to JAH RAS TAFARI FROM THE
Theocratic foundation.

To promote inity within the Rastafari Congregation.

To promote the development of respect knowledge and the iritical
powers of the Rastafari woman.

To restore the Omega balance within the Rastafari Movemant.

To work toward the Rastafari woman fulfilling her prophetical role as
“Woman clothed with the sun.”

To review and analyze the traditional and prophetical role of the
Rastafari woman and eliminate barriers placed in her path to prevent
her from fulfilling herself as a hola woman.

To visit and assist Rastafari Iyatas who are ill, and Iyatas with
young infants. To provide adequate nourishment for these sisters.

To fulfill the Rastafari creed with states: “The hungry must be fed,
the naked clothed, the sick nourished, the aged protected, and the
infants cared for.” To establish a Trust Fund toward carrying out this
work.”

To strengthen the much threatened Rastafari family life within the
Rastafari Congregation by opening up channels for the young Rastafari
woman to be counseled within the livity of what it means to the
Rastafari woman.

To build respect for Afrikan womanhood and the role of motherhood
within the Rastafari way of life.

To protect the Rastafari woman from economic exploitation and make
herself reliant. Trading post will be opened up as well as cultural
training centers wherever the Rastafari woman dwells.

To build and establish an educational network for the Rastafari woman
which will educate the Rastafari youth.  The projection is not only to
have schools, but also to produce textbooks and educational materials
on matters affecting the Rastafari woman and youth.

To establish cultural exchange between the Rastafari woman around the
world and other conscious women defending equal rights , justice,
peace, and truth upon earth.

To ensure that every woman claiming to be Rastafari knows the history
and the traditions of ancient Ethiopia and the Rastafari woman. To
record, document, and broadcast the contributions that the Rastafari
woman has made toward the liberation of her people, and to ensure that
she  continues to contribute her skills toward nation-building.

To educate the Rastafari woman about the importance of eating right
and feeding her youth healthy nourishment. To provide her with a list
of cultural names for her youth.

To teach the Rastafari woman proper respect for Elders.

To ensure that the Rastafari woman dress within the fulfillment of
her Royal dignity and not to the dictates of fashion designers bent on
making a plaything and sex object of woman.

To teach the Rastafari woman of the principles of King Alpha and
Queen Omega with the assistance of Elders of the Theocratic Order of
Rastafari.

The importance of love, inity, and truth out of which a true
sisterhood emerges will be emphasized, and the negativity of
competitiveness and backbiting among woman of the world.

To work, unceasingly toward the liberation of Afrika, the
Repatriation and the Redemption of the people, and the dawn of peace,
justice, and equality upon earth.
