Topic:
Violence against Women in the Name of God: Who Interprets the Sacred Texts?
Dr. Nazila Isgandarova
Many forms of violence or
practices against women and girls around the world are justified in the name of
religion, culture, and tradition. The majority of women want to improve their
situations by calling for a new interpretation of the sacred texts while
respecting religious, cultural, and national identities. An interactive workshop
will discuss the concerns of authority or power of interpreting the sacred texts
and how it impacts the lives of women. The participants are encouraged to share
their thoughts, experiences in order to enrich the learning opportunity and
bring an awareness of the power of interpreting the sacred texts.
