Advancing gender equality is one of the thematic areas of Religions for Peace. Recognizing that gender-based violence, is intricately linked to gender inequality, Religions for Peace is committed to take the lead in this fight through multi-religious collaboration. The International Youth Committee of Religions for Peace has committed this year, 2023, as a year to work on the worldwide issue of Gender-based violence. Gender-based violence is a form of injustice which affects millions of girls and women in the world and is deeply rooted in structural, and institutionalized gender norms and practices.
Advancing gender equality is one of the thematic areas of Religions for Peace. Recognizing that Gender-based violence is intricately linked to gender inequality, Religions for Peace is committed to take the lead through multi-religious collaboration. This event, Interfaith Responses to Gender-based Violence: A Fireside Chat, follows the commitment that the International Youth Committee (IYC) made at the recent 2023 Parliament of World Religions in Chicago, IL., USA, that took place in August. While at Parliament, the IYC led 2 workshops on Gender-based violence, speaking to their various regions and successful actions and initiatives that they have led and/or been a part of.
It is against this backdrop that this fireside chat will engage several outstanding Religions for Peace leaders, by diving deeper into the topic of engaging multi-religiously and multi-collaboratively to advance women’s dignity and address gender-based violence.
