ElisabetleRouxandSandraImanPertekexplorethewaysinwhichreligionand religious actors contribute to and counter Violence Against Women and Girls (vawg). Their aim is to help actors in humanitarian, development and fragile settingstoidentifywaysof engagingreligiousparametersproductivelyinvawg responses. Together the authors combine academic and practice-informed experience to make this a robust but accessible volume to non-academics, with Le Roux drawing from Christian communities in numerous countries and continents, and Pertek presenting research with Muslim women in fragile and displaced settings.Recognisingtheimpactof religiousbeliefsandpracticesintheexperienceof vawgandthedouble-edgedswordeffectthatthesecanhaveonnormsandattitudes about vawg, the authors organise the book into four sections: an introduction that outlines the complex relationship between ‘religion’and vawg, two main analytical sections that explore how religious beliefs and actors can either contribute to the perpetuation of vawg or help in its prevention and mitigation with reference to Christian and Muslim communities, and a fourth section that spells out clear action principles for practitioners at the grassroots level. In the current review, I focus on the chapters drawing from Christian communities (reflecting my specialisation in eastern Christian traditions) and the synthesis chapters where the authors attempt to draw joint comparative insights.
