Parallel event at the Commission on the Status of Women, CSW69 / Beijing+30
In celebration of International Women’s Day and the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, young FoRB Fellows from every region will discuss the challenges women from religious minorities face in exercising their freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). This panel will explore innovative strategies to combat discrimination and violence, mobilize communities, and influence policymakers. With expert insights and a call to action, this event is a unique opportunity to shape the future of gender equality and religious freedom.
Co-sponsored by the UN Mission of Norway, the FoRB Women’s Alliance, the First Freedom Foundation’s FoRB Fellows, and the Web Platform 4 Dialogue.
Women from religious minorities face violence and discrimination simply because of their faith—limiting their rights, deepening inequalities, and restricting their freedoms.
Join young FoRB defenders as they tackle this urgent issue, exploring how cultural norms, systemic barriers, and intersecting identities shape these challenges—and how Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) can drive gender equality and human rights.
