About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

The article discussed how people from different ideologies can put aside their differences and cooperate on this issue, and how global religious communities have an important role to play in combating SGBV.
