Guide to Building Women of Faith Networks

The Religions for Peace Global Women of Faith Network has developed a Guide to Building Women of Faith Networks, which affirms that women of faith draw deeply upon their reserves of agency, wisdom, and compassion to lead the world toward peace.

The guide recognizes networks of women of faith as an essential infrastructure in which women can demonstrate their leadership to transform violence, promote just and harmonious societies, advance human development, and protect the earth.

It offers strategies for women of faith to establish inter-faith networks in their communities, countries, and regions. The guide also offers information on how to engage women of faith networks in advocacy and action that mobilizes the social, moral, and spiritual assets of religious communities.
