The webinar was organized by SJES-SAsia in collaboration with Samanvaya, Shanti Sadbhavana Manch, CSSS and ICD on 14th November 2020. The webinar captured the voices of women as they reflected on various issues raised by the arrest of the 83 years old Jesuit, Father Stan Swamy. Taking Swamy’s arrest beyond the event, the women raised questions about the motivation of the Jesuit campaign to support one of their own, the paucity of women’s voices in religious discourse, a democracy that silences dissent at immense political and human cost, and the fate of prophetic voices in religious and secular spaces.
