Throughout history, religions (and how people interpret them) have sometimes promoted and sometimes limited the rights and power of women. Hear from five panelists from varying backgrounds to learn more about the ways religious beliefs and tenets impact historical and modern-day experiences of women.

- Ameena Jandali (Muslim)
- Sheila Mohan (Hindu)
- Tenzin Chogkyi (Buddhist)
- Katy Dickinson (Christian)
- Rabbi Amy Eilberg (Jewish)
