Gender Justice is an important practice that requires continuous learning and engagement. This workshop focuses on the importance of interfaith discussions as it relates to gender justice and injustice. Speakers from varying faith backgrounds speak on topics like gender equality, women's rights movements, women in leadership etc. The goal of this series is to expose the audience to partake in discussions on the role and the importance of women in faith communities and to highlight progressive conversations.
