Chelsea Langston Bombino

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2024, vol. 22, issue 1, 18-23

Abstract: In this essay the author discusses the limitations of a segmented human rights approach, and traces her own commitment to women's wellbeing and her deep dive into cross-cultural religious literacy (CCRL). The essay then focuses on the case of FoRB Women’s Alliance, emphasizing CCRL's necessity in addressing complex women's rights violations, cultural biases, and the importance of grassroots initiatives. Through interviews with Alliance co-founders, the essay unveils the essential role of CCRL in advancing women's freedoms at the juncture of human rights and religious freedom. The conclusion underscores CCRL's significance in empowering women to challenge norms through religiously grounded narratives of empowerment, especially in culturally restrictive contexts.
