Disha Arora of Faith Futures Collective on Gender Justice and Active Hope

In this episode of Futures Hub, listeners are joined by Disha Arora, founder of the Faith Futures Collective - a South Asia-based initiative amplifying women's perspectives in religion to promote gender justice. Disha shares how her journey from creating a documentary on women and religion in India to founding Faith Futures Collective revealed the risks, resilience, and transformative power of narrative change. Together, we explore: Why foresight and futures thinking are vital for reimagining faith. The obstacles women face in faith institutions and how creativity and safety strategies open space for change. How movements like the campaign around the Sabarimala temple spark wider conversations on equality. The practice of "active hope" as a way to keep moving forward in uncertain times. Why narrative power - who gets to tell the story - shapes the futures we build. Tune in to learn more about imagination, resilience, and the power of stories to transform centuries-old systems.
