Resisting and Challenging Religious Fundamentalisms:
Learning from experience
I. Call for Proposals of Case Studies
Are you confronting religious fundamentalisms or regressive political-religious movements in your daily life and work? Are you witnessing important links between different types of fundamentalisms (economic, national, social, cultural and religious) and seeing similarities in how these work across religions and regions? Have you or your organization been involved in actions to resist and challenge religious fundamentalisms that you would like to share more widely with women’s rights advocates from around the world?
As women’s movements and organizations from different regions, we can learn from each other and create new ways to cooperate and strengthen our collective efforts. We need to share strategic information on how regressive politico-religious groups and movements work and grow and affect women’s rights, and how we can launch successful strategies to resist, challenge and present viable alternatives in return.
As part of it’s initiative on “Resisting and Challenging Religious Fundamentalisms” AWID is gathering insights into the contemporary workings of religious fundamentalist movements and previously undocumented strategies employed by women’s rights activists to successfully challenge them. We intend to share the selected case studies with AWID members and other women’s rights activists and advocates around the world.
This is a call to acknowledge the diversity and wealth of information within women’s organizations and movements and to share our experience and knowledge of the actions and strategies at our disposal. We are seeking proposals for case studies from a variety of contexts and regions of the world. Selected proposals will receive an honorarium of $3000 USD upon completion of the full case study in order to assist in and offset costs of documentation (expected length of the full case study will be 15 to 20 pages long). Selected contributions will also be highlighted at the 11th International AWID Forum on “The Power of Movements” which will be held on 14th-17th November, 2008, in Cape Town, South Africa. The authors of the selected case studies will be invited to present their experiences in a session at the AWID Forum and the case studies will also subsequently be published by AWID.
