About
This two-day conference brings together key partners to explore how religious leaders and communities can help prevent and respond to violence against women and girls.
Recognizing that this challenge affects everyone, the event will showcase ongoing initiatives, share effective approaches, and identify next steps for joint action across the OSCE region.
Participants will have a chance to exchange experiences, build partnerships, and contribute to more inclusive and coordinated responses. The conference will also mark the launch of ODIHR’s new practical guide for state institutions on engaging religious actors in efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls.
Around 50 participants from across the OSCE region are expected to attend.
Working languages: English and Russian (with simultaneous interpretation).
