Faith Futures Collective
Transforming Narratives for Gender Justice and Peacebuilding
We are on a mission to place women’s voices at the centre of religious interpretations and peacebuilding conversations across South Asia, reshaping the region’s faith-based narrative landscape.
Why Are We Doing This?
By shifting religious interpretation, we can challenge the skewed narrative infrastructure that has long supported gender inequality in religious spaces. Our project, a voluntary initiative, isn’t just about sharing individual stories, it’s about transforming the entire ecosystem of how we talk and think about women in religious and peacebuilding spheres.

What Are We Doing?
Through storytelling, research, mentoring, and community building, we amplify progressive interpretations, support women peacebuilders, and create spaces for collaborative meaning-making. Our initiatives document women’s experiences, provide strategic mentorship, and foster networks that strengthen narrative power. With a focus on South Asia, we work towards long-term structural shifts, ensuring that diverse voices shape a more just, inclusive, and peaceful future. Read More
Voices in Focus
Themes We Are Currently Building On
This year we are working across three themes, each a different route into how women and gender-diverse people inherit and reshape religion in South Asia.
Curious where your idea fits?
“Gender discrimination in religion is neither sacred nor traditional, it is unjust. Through progressive interpretations of religious texts and storytelling, we are committed to dismantling oppressive systems and building religious narratives rooted in justice, peace, and shared humanity.”
Disha Arora, Founder, Faith Futures Collective

” Our cities are ready to lead—taking action on job creation, complementary pathways to address our broken immigration systems, and challenging the narrative that migration is a crisis. “

Some experiences leave a lasting impression from the very start. Collaborating with the Faith Futures Collective has been one such experience for me. My first contribution was reviewing a book that sheds light on feminist voices within the religious landscape of Northeast India, which made the collaboration even more meaningful. I am grateful for the opportunity and extend my best wishes to this inspiring initiative.

FFC is a truly remarkable initiative for trying to streamline and platform women’s voices in the domains of gender justice and peacebuilding. As a South Asian practitioner, I’ve often found this sector to be siloed and scattered, with few ways of finding, connecting and networking with other peers in peace. I see FFC as a way of bridging that gap.

As a child and until now, I always had an intuitive feeling that women and other gender minorities in my life held more wisdom about religion, faith and belonging than anyone else. When I got to know about Faith Futures Collective, it felt like a special, secret truth I had held for so long was being publicly recognised and given a structure of care.

Collaborating with Faith Futures Collective for the initial phase of this project will always hold a special place in my life. It’s a privilege to have contributed in some way to such transformative work. A big shout-out to the entire team and supporters of this project. May the stories and voices it amplifies continue to inspire, challenge, and create a more just and peaceful world.
