 | | The Association for Women's Rights in Development, AWID, has released a special series of publications on religious fundamentalisms and women's rights. The publications draw on the results of a global survey of over 1,600 women’s rights activists, in-depth interviews with over 50 key experts, as well as supplementary research and consultations. The first publication Shared insights: Women’s rights activists define religious fundamentalisms explores how religious fundamentalisms are being understood and experienced by women’s rights activists located within different regional and religious contexts. |
The second publication, Religious fundamentalisms on the rise: A case for action examines the impact of the global rise of religious fundamentalisms, and makes the case for a consolidated global response by rights activists across all sectors, while the third publication Ten myths about religious fundamentalisms seeks to expose and deconstruct the ten most commonly held myths about the phenomenon, in order to strengthen resistance to religious fundamentalisms. The publications are currently disseminated electronically. For questions, comments and feedback on the publications please contact:
