S2E5 Engaging religious and spiritual leaders in addressing violence against women
Manage episode 350239960 series 3330749
Faith and spiritual leaders are often deeply trusted and hugely influential people in the heart of their communities. In this episode, we consider the role religious leaders can play in ending violence against women and violence against children.
We discuss how religious beliefs may contribute to violence, how the patriarchal nature of religious institutions can both condone and drive violence against women, as well as the healing role faith can play in the lives of survivors. We also discuss what needs to be done going forward to decolonise knowledge in this field.
Our guests are:
Dr Rafael Cazarin, Department of Sociology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona
Ghida Anani, Founder & Director at ABAAD, Resource Centre for Gender Equality
Dr Sandra Pertek, Department of Social Policy, Sociology and Criminology at the University of Birmingham.
Your hosts are:
Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI
Angelica Pino, Grants Manager and Capacity Strengthening Specialist, SVRI
