Religion, Politics and Gender Equality

Have you ever discussed gender equality within a group of people? Have you ever discussed gender equality with people that take a religious or political stance towards equality?

The following UNRISD policy briefing paper 'Gender Politics and Gender Equality' gives a very good discussion regarding this very issue. At a time when many people thought that religion would lessen its hold on gender inequalities, we are seeing an upsurge in fundamentalist beliefs; and an upsurge in movements that are usrping equality to thier own ends. A really good paper to read.

After surveying over 14,500 secularists about their sex lives the study's key findings were as follows:

· Sex improves dramatically after leaving religion.

· Sexual guilt has little staying power after leaving religion.

· Those raised most religious show no difference from those raised least religious in their sexual behavior.

· Those raised most religious experience far more guilt but have just as much sex.

· Religious parents are far worse at educating their children on matters of sex.

· Religious guilt differs in measurable amounts according to denomination.
