Faith to Action Network is a leading interfaith organisation promoting women’s rights and gender justice. Inspired to mobilise faith communities to become passionate advocates, we collaborate with diverse actors to challenge oppressive beliefs and practices. We invest in, and uphold, life giving interpretations of sacred texts and teachings to shift gender norms to enable women and girls to take up leadership positions in faith institutions and the larger society. Informed by our commitment to women’s rights and gender justice, we actively facilitate mutual learning across different faith traditions. We have developed resource material to enhance the capacity of faith leaders to collaborate with other strategic actors in order to secure women’s rights and gender justice. Informed by the values found across the different faith traditions, we invite all the people of goodwill to protect the dignity and rights of women and girls, as well as men and boys. Moved by our faith, we act
