Women in Religious Peacebuilding
by Katherine Marshall, Susan Hayward
Description
Women are involved in peacebuilding efforts across the world, often drawing inspiration and support from religious organizations. But their efforts are largely invisible. This report sheds light on the religious peacebuilding work that women do, offering both a better understanding of the effects of peace work generally and a way for donors, international organizations, and others to support women
who are building a more sustainable peace.
