Imagine a crossroads of faiths, cultures, and social commitment where theology intertwines with activism to foster real change. This is the spirit of the Pan African Faith & Gender Justice Conference, a biennial interfaith dialogue event organized by the Institute for Faith and Gender Empowerment (IFAGE). Since 2017, it has provided safe spaces for dialogue on difficult issues such as gender-based violence and discrimination within religious communities, promoting an inclusive re-reading of sacred texts to foster reconciliation and justice.

The fifth edition will take place in Nairobi, Kenya, from September 17 to 19, 2025, at St. Paul’s University. The chosen theme, Mutuality in God: A Faith Response for Peace & Gender Reconciliation, calls for the building of relationships grounded in equality and inclusion. Around 250 delegates from various countries will take part in pre-conferences, exhibitions, and plenary sessions, all of which have been designed to equip faith leaders to become agents of social change.
