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.
