Panelists will discuss prevention strategies, military actions, government policies, and constructions of masculinity to reduce violence based on religious belief and gender.
In several current world conflicts, multiple sides claim religious belief as a motivation for violent actions, including gender-based violence. In fact, the U.N. “Plan of Action for Religious Leaders and Actors to Prevent Incitement to Violence That Could Lead to Atrocity Crimes” lists gender-based violence as one of the key elements related to atrocity crimes. Panelists will discuss prevention strategies, military actions, government policies, and constructions of masculinity.
Panelists include:
- Stephanie Ogorzalek, U.S. Department of State, Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues
- Jean-Pierre Karegeye, (moderator), Dickinson College
- Christina Li, U.S. Department of State, Office of Religion and Global Affairs
