Conference Documentation Together with the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), the Heinrich Böll Foundation organized the international conference „Religion Revisited - Women’s rights and the political instrumentalisation of religion“. Here you can find the presentations of the conference speakers, reports of the working groups as well as some visual impressions of the conference.
