What is the state of affairs regarding Women’s Human Rights in contexts marked by strong religious institutions and forces? What is the role of the CEDAW convention in the encounter between international law and national laws embedded in religious law? How can religion and law represent both obstacles and possibilities for implementing women’s human rights?
This panel will explore these questions from several perspectives from law, theology, religion and art. The participants will include perspectives and references from different geopolitical contexts such as Scandinavia, the Baltic countries, Egypt, USA and Iran.
