Abstract

This toolkit, created by the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies, the Institute of Development Studies, and Sonke Gender Justice, helps understand and address faith, gender, and sexuality intersections. It includes modules on terminology and contextual analysis, exploring how faith can both support and hinder gender equality. With real-life case studies and participatory activities, it encourages users to challenge harmful gender norms and create strategies for change. Intended for faith leaders, educators, and community organisers, the toolkit fosters dialogue, inclusivity, and respect for diverse faith traditions while promoting social justice.
