AWID - Association for Women's
Rights in Development
This
collection of case studies is a testament to the women and men around the world
who have stood up to reject the imposition of norms and values in the name of
religion as well as to expose and challenge the privileged position given to
religion in public policies. In 2008 AWID launched a call for proposals to
document the strategies of women's rights activists confronting religious fundamentalisms.
The final 18 case studies presented here are drawn from a wide range of
religious and geographical contexts, and cover various fields of activism. We
hope that this collection will inspire, inform and encourage discussion and
debate. Please visit this page again for updates, as finalized case studies and
a brief summary of each case study will be posted on a rolling basis. We will
also soon be posting a paper that introduces the trends and themes that are
threaded through the various case studies.
