Women's
and girls' empowerment is a central theme in the field of development, but the
role of religion in shaping gender roles is often viewed with suspicion or
contention. Patriarchy exists within some religious traditions, alongside many women and men, however, who work actively for gender equality within
religious traditions. Faith resources also serve as a reference point for gender norms and expectations.
