As we have journeyed throughout the semester we have focused our studies on identifying major themes and different teachings of the religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. We have either directly or indirectly focused on developing a deeper understanding of each religions’ theology, sacred scriptures, code of ethics, prayer and worship rituals, and a brief history of the religion.

Girls and women in a society bear the brunt of the negative impact of rigid gender norms and roles in most world religions; they are more likely to face restrictions in their freedom and mobility, they are subjected to epidemic levels of violence and harassment around the world, and they have fewer opportunities to choose how to live their lives. For this reason, I have chosen to explore the theme of “Treatment of Women in the Society” to get to the root of the concern.

To successfully come up with a good report, I intend to use the following sources:
