Human rights encompass the basic rights and freedoms inherent to all individuals, regardless of religion, race, caste, gender, or any other status. These rights are inalienable and must be safeguarded against all forms of discrimination. The notion of fundamental rights is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and numerous other international treaties. In India, a country with a rich and diverse religious landscape, the connection between human rights and faith is intricate, frequently leading to potential conflicts between religious practices and human rights principles. Faith-based mediation, though not legally recognized in India, is practiced within various communities under the guise of reconciliation. Women's right to participate in mediation, including faith-based mediation, is a crucial aspect of their human rights and is integral to achieving gender equality. However, it is often observed that women are excluded from leadership roles as mediators or arbitrators within many religious settings in India. Encouraging women's participation as mediators in faith-based contexts can significantly advance their rights, but this would require confronting and changing cultural and social norms that restrict women's roles. This article aims to collect primary data and analyze existing observations to explore the role of women in faith-based mediation in India, emphasizing the tension between religious beliefs and the promotion of women's human rights.
