Abstract
In this panel, representatives from faith-based organizations, survivors, activists, and scholars discuss how different religious traditions view gender roles, power, and violence—and how faith communities can shift toward protection and justice. Topics include scriptural interpretation, pastoral response, congregational education, and integrating mental health support into religious settings. The conversation is grounded in real experiences of people negotiating faith and abuse.
This resource is helpful for congregational leaders, ordinary members, or survivors who want to see how religious voices are engaging with GBV. It shows both challenges (religious silence, doctrine used to justify control) and promising practices (faith education, survivor-led testimony, interfaith alliances).
