The rise of violent religious extremism and its impact on women
and communities worldwide is an urgent and deepening crisis. From Nov. 19-21,
the IPJ will convene its 10th international working conference to examine the
issue and gendered strategies to confront this disturbing trend.
Responding to a call from its Women PeaceMakers network, the IPJ
and its partners will bring together local and international policymakers,
religious leaders, security forces and peacebuilders to discuss the support and
interventions needed to defend human rights in contexts where extremist voices
in religious communities call for violence, rather than tolerance and peace.
In particular, the conference will focus on the ways in which
women and women’s rights are often the first to be targeted by violent
religious extremism, and what strategies women and their allies are using to
combat the polarization of their communities, assert their rights, and create
the space for moderate and/or interfaith dialogue to establish peace.
