The Devil is in the Details: At the Nexus of Development, Women's Rights and Religious Fundamentalisms

This paper aims to be a resource that improves understanding of how religious fundamentalisms constrain development and women's rights in particular, and, how development actors can challenge rather than facilitate religious fundamentalisms. The paper pursues this aim by providing insights and concerns drawn from the experiences of development actors who have already been resisting religious fundamentalisms and also puts forth six main recommendations: addressing the structural conditions which facilitate religious fundamentalisms; acting on the warning signs of fundamentalism; promoting pluralism and diversity; avoiding homogenous notions of identity; working with partners; and supporting those already resisting fundamentalisms.
