Trusted Voices: How Faith Leaders Can Communicate Evidence-based FP Information

Public Webinar: January 23, 2025 8:00 to 9:30 am US ET/ 2:00 to 3:30 pm GMT

Communities listen to trusted leaders when making personal decisions, including choices about their reproductive health and planning their families. With 85 percent of the world population belonging to a faith tradition, religious and lay leaders are often very influential, making it extremely important that they have accurate, evidence-based information to share with their communities. This discussion will explore examples of equipping religious leaders with facts about family planning, and share strategies, challenges, and tools to help faith actors protect the health of their communities.

Speakers:

  • Sheikh Saliou Mbacke, Cadre des Religieux pour la Santé et le Développement (CRSD), Senegal, How are faith communities leveraging social media/online platforms on SRHR?
  • Reverend Puleng Mkhatshwa, Development Officer, UN Women South Africa, Role of the gender desk within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa to communicate information
  • Krishiel Ferenal, Philippine Director of Health Operations, International Care Ministries, Family Planning programs that engage faith leaders in the Philippines.

Moderator: Nagwa El Deeb, Program Manager and Gender Advisor

Change Agents for All

Our theme this year is Change Agents for All. Faith actors are change agents: those preaching from the pulpit and lay leaders in communities. They provide care and use their voices for integral mission: demonstration and proclamation including health equity and justice, advocacy, resilience, being salt and light locally and globally.
