Religion, Women, and Cross-cultural Literacy
By Katherine Marshall, G20 Interfaith Association Vice President, World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD), Berkley Center.
In Southeast Asia, April 21 is celebrated as Kartini Day, honoring a nineteenth century Indonesian leader who was ahead of her time in her strong advocacy for women’s equality – and above all, education for girls. In 2016, Google honored her with a Google Doodle. Her ideals, which drew on both religious and non-religious sources, are reflected today in many noble strategies and programs aimed at gender equality, but many of the challenges of her time are still before us.

Kings, queens, dictators, and plantation slave owners were singularly Judge, Jury, and Executioner over the bodies of our ancestors.
