Gender equality in religion

Gender equality in religion means that men and women are valued and treated fairly within religious beliefs, practices, and leadership. It seeks to ensure that both genders have equal opportunities for participation, decision-making, and spiritual growth, without discrimination or bias. Different religions have varied interpretations—some promote equality, while others have traditional roles. Promoting gender equality aims to respect individual rights, enhance inclusivity, and foster fairness within religious communities, recognizing that spiritual worth is not determined by gender.
