Religious Fundamentalisms Impact on Women\u2019s Rights in Africa<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>April 21, 2015\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>Carleton University. Humanities Theatre, 303 Paterson Hall<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Africa-Canada Forum (ACF), one of the working groups of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC), in collaboration with the Institute of African Studies from Carlton University, is organizing a one day learning event on religious fundamentalists and their impact on women\u2019s rights in Africa.<\/p>\n

This forum will discuss the impact of different forms of religious fundamentalism on women\u2019s rights in Africa from the perspectives of academia, African civil society and Canadian civil society organizations (CSO). A highlight will be our guest speakers, including Shareen Gokal, Manager, Challenging Religious Fundamentalisms, Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID); Dr. Pius Adesanmi, Professor of English and African Studies, Carleton University; Dr. Paul Mkandawire, Assistant Professor of Human Rights and African Studies, Carleton University; Dr. Erin Augis, Associate Professor of Sociology, Ramapo College of New Jersey; and Fahima Hashim, Director of the Salmmah Women’s Resource Centre and an Inter Pares collaborator.<\/p>\n

The day will open with an overview of religious fundamentalisms and their specific impact on women\u2019s rights. Then we will move towards analyzing the issues through case studies examining Islam and Christianity. Much emphasis will be placed on discussion. Participants will be encouraged to bring in their own perspectives on a way forward to tackling these issues and on working as a collaborative community to do so.<\/p>\n

The objectives of this event are as follows:<\/p>\n

To develop a greater understanding of religious fundamentalisms and how different forms impact women\u2019s rights in affected nations, regions and communities.<\/p>\n

To generate insight into some of the historical, cultural, political conditions which have led to the rise of different forms of religious fundamentalisms occurring in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and the consequences they are having on women’s rights.<\/p>\n

To fill in the knowledge gap of practical possibilities and challenges CSOs have in working in nations or regions where they encounter religious fundamentalisms.<\/p>\n

Presentations will be in English only, however participants are welcome to speak in the language of their choice. Please note, interpretation will not be available for this event.<\/p>\n
