Join us in conversation with Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur as we try to understand Women & Gender in Sikhi from a Gurmat (Guru’s Way) perspective, as inferred from Bani (wisdom), Tavarikh (history), and Rahit (lifestyle).

How did the Sikh Gurus address women’s issues?
How did they frame or reframe gender?
Regarding women’s and gender issues within the Panth today, why is there a disparity between principles and practice, and how do we close that gap?
