Crossroad of Religions
In Rome, Notre Dame convening engages women’s voices to help shape Afghanistan’s future
What is the role of religion in Afghanistan? Should a future state have an official religion? How — or should — the international community engage with the Taliban, or does doing so confer legitimacy on a repressive regime?
These questions were at the heart of a recent convening hosted by the Afghanistan Program for Peace and Development, part of the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs.
