Welcome! The Women and Religion Movement is alive and well in the 21st Century. A grassroots project started by lay leaders in the 1970s as an effort to promote examination of religious roots of sexism and patriarchy within the UUA and beyond, UU Women and Religion officially began as a task force following the unanimously-passed WOMEN AND RELIGION RESOLUTION at the 1977 UUA General Assembly. Although the Task Force was eventually sunsetted, the movement still exists in UU communities that hold Women & Religion programs and gatherings for those who identify as women. It exists at the UU General Assembly, where UUW&R brings our Store to the Exhibit Hall and occasionally hosts a gathering. And it lives in the hearts and lives of people who have been touched by the many changes inspired by this movement.

Electronic Media

A growing trend is the use of electronic media like Facebook for UU women's events and groups. A few  are beginning to use Twitter to spread the word. Some have listed events on WitchVox. And many are using blogs or websites to communicate event details, facilitate online registration, display photos, network, and share their resources. Our website lists several District and regional UU women's groups and would be happy to link to your UU women's group site or page -- just let us know. And, we'll list your events on www.uuwr.org!
