Understanding Inclusivity of Religious Diversity in Humanitarian Response

Sharing core norms and values
Nov 16, 2021 | Institute for Development Studies, Olivia Wilkinson, Jennifer Philippa Eggert

Humanitarian definitions of inclusivity, vulnerability, and impartiality often mention religious identity in passing (alongside gender, age, race, ethnicity, politics, and other aspects of identity), but there has long been little guidance as to how to assess it. In their report for the Institute for Development Studies, Olivia Wilkinson and Jennifer Philippa Eggert identify questions for humanitarians to help analyse when and how address religious diversity in their responses. It offers a review of major tools used in humanitarian response to assess if and how to ask questions about the inclusion of religious minorities, suggesting a list of recommended practical questions.
