Seeing Freedom, Religion, and Belief in Pakistan
In April and May of 2021, a group of people living in Pakistan with different religious backgrounds gathered for a series of Interfaith Photovoice meetings. Participants snapped and shared photographs about the ways they live out their religious beliefs, practices, and values. They explained how they are helping their communities experience religious freedom. And they discussed how they build and maintain bridges across religious divides.
This project is a collaboration with the Freedom of Religion or Belief Learning Platform and the NORFORB network (Norway) and the Al Amana Centre (Sultanate of Oman).
This page we now consider retired. To honor and preserve the stories shared by the project participants, the webpage will remain live.
