We could invite submissions for an essay or academic paper contest on a specific topic, e.g. “What is Liberal Religion” – or any other that is connected to our profile and mission. We could do it annually and offer some monetary awards as well as perhaps work with a journal that would find the theme interesting to have the winning submissions published there. The monetary awards could be 250/500/1000 EUR and we could try and raise funds for them or simply treat it as a programme expense – it wouldn’t be very expensive compared to grants that we used to give, for example. And it could be less money too, depending on what we’d learn after doing some research.
IARF Applauds Rejection of Bill to Repeal FGM Ban in The Gambia
IARF applauds The Gambia’s rejection of the bill to repeal the FGM ban. This decision upholds crucial protections for women and girls, aligning with international human rights standards. The 2015 ban on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) remains a significant milestone in the global effort to eradicate this harmful practice. IARF continues to support human rights and bodily integrity worldwide.
