Faith Matters - The Female Peacemakers - 50 Years of "Religions for Peace"
Once every five years the organization "Religions for Peace" holds a plenary session. The most recent one took place last summer in Germany. More than 900 religion delegates from all over the world met at Lindau on Lake Constance. Previously, a DW camera team documented four of the women’s work in Jordan. Feminism in the Middle East - not promoted by young girls but by mature women, members of the Middle East section of Religions for Peace: Jewish, Christian, Muslim. One is a former ambassador, another a university professor, a third is a former political prisoner from Iraq. These campaigners are united in their struggle for women’s rights, including in religious communities. They developed a project in Jordan, a traditionally patriarchal society, and brought their plan to the RfP world congress in Germany. DW reports on the reception they received in Lindau.
