Our Executive Director @EvelyneParadis took to the stage at #EDD18 today, w/ the message that any discussion about #religion & #gender needs to start with addressing the huge power inequalities that exist btw religious institutions/leaders & anyone from marginalised communities.

#edd18 If we put half as much effort into making the case for our values to people who don't care about development as we do into publishing successful tweets, we might be onto something. @KoenDoens @owenbarder @jonathanglennie @SanaAfouaiz @ONEinEU
