This event was jointly organized by the TPO Foundation and the Faculty of Political Sciences in Sarajevo, and in addition, the TPO Foundation, as part of the UNIGEM project, supported translating of this book from English and its printing.

‘Feminism and Religion in the 21st Century’ contains sixteen essays and a large number of different topics. ‘Various authors write about the transformational effects of communication technologies, the Internet, blogs and social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, in the communities of women and men involved in religion and feminism. Women are extremely involved in the digital world as they dominate blogs and represent the majority of total social media users. These media break down borders, communicate globally and across numerous divides, and allow women to deal with different issues based on their own experience.’ Therefore, it can be said that these essays serve to encourage us to see ‘the transformative possibilities that, thanks to social media technology, have been provided to people, and especially to women.’
