Birth is a profound event that combines religious, social and personal dimensions. Together with three other organizations, Mission 21 is hosting an interfaith women's parliament on this topic. The event offers space to explore interfaith approaches and reflect on the role of faith, rituals and community in issues such as silent birth, impairment and childlessness.

How do different religious traditions shape the transition into life, and what challenges and perspectives arise in a diverse society? This 6th Interreligious Women's Parliament offers input from various religious traditions as well as space for dialog on the social and personal challenges surrounding the topic of birth.

The speakers:

  • Yasemin Duran - Islamic theologian, religious educator, counselor and project manager in Zurich.
  • Lavanya Ramalingam - Research associate in the field of cancer treatment technologies and mediator of Tamil Hinduism.
  • Steffi Bollag - President of the Israelitische Gemeinde Basel (IGB), midwife, nurse and ISO manager.
  • Angela Büchel Sladkovic - Catholic theologian (Dr. theol.), adult educator and board member of the House of Religions.

The input presentations are scheduled for the morning. In the afternoon there will be six different workshops led by a total of 15 other women experts from different religions. Further details on the program and the workshops can be found in the linked PDF document. Registration is via the PDF (download, fill in, send by e-mail or post; not online).
