On the Significance of Religion in Violence Against Women and Girls Webinar

Based on their substantial and significant empirical and in-depth exploratory research conducted in several countries within different Christian and Islamic contexts, Elisabet and Sandra will discuss how religion and religious actors contribute to violence against women and girls (VAWG), how it can play a role in helping to address VAWG and its consequences, and they aim to offer academics, practitioners and policymakers guidance in engaging with religion on VAWG prevention and response. This conversation provides insights into their forthcoming book On the Significance of Religion in Violence Against Women and Girls, to be published by Routledge in late 2022 as part of the series, Religion Matters – On the Significance of Religion in Global Issues.
