WOMEN Women’s right in Religion France I. County’s Policy When looking at religion we always see men who are the leaders. Women in religion have a poor role. They are not treated badly in most religions but they are not treated fairly either; they do not have a voice in religion. It is ironic that women are not leaders or have an important role in their religion because in some religions they are worshiped. For example in Mexico, La Virgin de Guadalupe is said to be the mother of all Mexicans. Many pray for miracles to her, they have a strong fate in her. Also in ancient Greeks there were goddesses and people will ask them for what they wanted. In modern times, however, we still do not see any women being a leader of a religion. As a Roman Catholic country, in France most of the leaders in church are men. Our government strongly respects the religion and would not want to cause a big dilemma with our people. Still, France will like to contribute on the idea of having women more involved in religion and having the same right to be some one important in religion. We believe that this issue has to be solved very carefully. We don’t want to get into a nation’s believes so we respect their choice of religion. II.UN involvement It is very difficult for the UN to take real action on this issue. Since it involves religion it is very hard for the UN to propose anything with out disrespecting the country’s religion. The UN, though, is doing as much as it can to improve women rights in religion. With this the UN is trying to promote tolerance and give women the rights they deserve in religion. The UN will keep trying to work but it is very difficult to solve an issue with religion involved in it. V. Solutions France really wants to keep the peace while solving this issue. We propose that first we carefully go over religions and their beliefs. Also we could talk to the leaders of those religions and then take real action in this issue. We have to be comprehendible and carefully while discussing this topic. We want women to have a voice in the church and give them more rights but we do not want to do something that can cause a dispute between countries [] [] [] []
