This article was very interesting seeing how the part of our chapter that I have read so far talks about how religion now and religion as it has developed has not promoted equality. Since this is what I have read of the chapter so far I found it very interesting in this article that in Gambia religious leaders were actually asked to speak at a convention in promotion of more egalitarian. They were asked specifically to address the gender based violence in marriages that occurs and how it needs to stop. However, they also talk about how there needs to be a dialogue in order for a marriage to work and that marriages should be happy. In my mind having religious leaders say that there needs to be more of a dialogue between the husband and wife is a step towards the promotion of a more egalitarian marriage where the woman is seen as more of a partner than an inferior.
