FAITH & VALUE CREATION – WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF FAITH AND GENDER? Policy report 2022
A webinar as part of GERIS microprojects
Welcoming the panellists and participants as chair, the Executive Director of New Women Connectors, Ms Anila Noor, highlighted the importance of coming together in a safe space to discuss and debate the role of women and gender within faith communities. She said that New Women Connectors was an initiative led by refugee and migrant women who wanted to bring a perspective shift, from integration to inclusion, and from support to opportunities, for the refugee and migrant individuals and communities. She said NWC responds to bridging the gap between the intersections of interfaith communities, focusing on safeguarding women's space in the absence of female faith community leaders' voice in policy and decision-making. We highlighted perceptual mistakes and understanding gaps due to not considering the specific barriers, priorities and networking platforms for women working with and towards faith communities. The NWC provides this platform for their success stories and tries to connect them with relevant forums at a national and international level.
