The webinar will offer an intergenerational discussion that calls on faith traditions to positively influence community norms, values, and decision-making in advancing womens rights and dignity.

Building on the outcomes of the Beijing 30+ commemorative consultation, participants will collaborate and commit to actions that foster womens agency and dignity at community, church, and institutional levels.
