On this week’s episode of The FORBcast, we discuss freedom of religion or belief at the intersection of gender equality. We look at gender-based statistics from around the world, hear recommendations from the UN Women Religion and Gender Equality report, and highlight just a few of the women working in their everyday lives to close the gender equality gap.
