Faith and religion are central to the lives of billions of people around the world. In many communities, faith leaders are among the most trusted voices, holding significant influence in shaping beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. This makes them powerful allies in the prevention of and response to gender based violence (GBV), yet working at the intersection of faith and GBV can be complex.

In this episode of the Sexual Violence Research podcast we learn more about the SVRI’s Faith & GBV Community of Practice - a new network bringing together  researchers, practitioners, activists, and faith leaders. Host Elizabeth Dartnall is joined by Lisa le Roux, who is leading this work for the SVRI and shares how the initiative is creating space for reflection, connection, and change within faith communities across Africa.

🎧 Listen to learn:

➡︎ Why faith leaders are important partners in ending GBV.

➡︎ How religious beliefs can both challenge and support gender justice.

➡︎ What the Faith & GBV Community of Practice is and how it works.

➡︎ Why trust-building between development and faith actors is crucial for real impact.

Your host is: Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI).
