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.
