Faith-Based Actors and Women’s Rights Activists Must Join to Breakdown Patriarchy
Session Description:
Theological reflections and interpretations of sacred texts have for centuries been done only by men. This has led to the proliferation of patriarchal ideas espoused by religions over the centuries. It is time when women are at the table, and have a powerful voice when authoritative doctrines and pronouncements such as fatwas are discussed. In this session, we explore not only the importance of this shift but how it can be accomplished.
