Yes, women are simultaneously advancing religious freedom and women’s empowerment
The power women bring to advancing freedom of religion, belief and conscience worldwide is part of the game-changing initiatives that RFBF supports. This ranges from the new women-led campaign to address modern-day genocide and religion-related crimes against humanity, to our ongoing partnership with Empower Women Media.
For a glimpse into this power, check out CT’s latest article featuring the work of Shirin Taber and colleagues at Empower Women Media. Also, check out the piece RFBF’s Brian Grim co-authored with Jo Anne Lyons for the World Economic Forum on how Religious Freedom Empowers Women.
