Women are gaining influence as leaders throughout the world, fighting for peace, justice, the environment and civil society. In this program, we profile three courageous women struggling with religious issues. Elana Rozenman is co-director of the Women's Interfaith Encounter in the Middle East. Irshad Manji is a Canadian Muslim lesbian and feminist who wants a reformation of her own faith. And Regina O'Callahan helped found the Northern Ireland Interfaith Forum
to support religious diversity in her country.

This Women's Desk program is a special collaboration with the Women Rising Radio Project, Lynn Feinerman and Crown Sephira Productions.

Featuring:
Elana Rozenman, Women's Interfaith Encounter co-director; Irshad Manji, The Trouble with Islam Today author; Regina O'Callahan, Northern Ireland Interfaith Forum founder.
