About the Article
This article explores how communication tools—traditional and digital—can be strategically used to advance women’s rights in religious communities. It highlights the complementarity of newspapers, radio, and community meetings with digital platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. Storytelling emerges as a particularly powerful advocacy tool, humanizing systemic issues and mobilizing empathy-driven action. Case studies from Kenya, Brazil, India, Nigeria, and the Philippines illustrate how communication strategies strengthen advocacy networks, improve organizational efficiency, and secure policy change.
