DIALOGUE SESSION ON WOMEN AND RELIGION
_______________________________________________________________________________________
We refer to the above matter.
2. In a multicultural and multi religious country like Malaysia, it is paramount that general issues like the women issues which traverse across boundaries of religions, ethnicity and culture be understood in order to prevent further misunderstanding and chaos. These issues such as violence against women, sexual crimes, honor killing and marital conflicts have been discussed time and time again from various perspectives. The women’s committee from Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia (JIM), an Islamic NGO, is organizing a dialogue session on women and religion to further explore these issues from the perspectives of the major religions in this country.
3. This invitation is also extended to the members of your association as participants in that dialogue (a minimum 20 person would be most welcome). We would also appreciate your prompt reply.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any queries. Herewith we enclosed tentative programme.
Thank you,
PN HASMIZA MOHD AMIN
