The project "Living and believing gender in a neo-conservative future: the case of women's (non)ordination in Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church" is aimed at reducing gender inequality and preventing discrimination against women in Latvia, offering new, evidence-based interdisciplinary knowledge, as well as promoting discussion about the causes of inequality, its implementation mechanisms and consequences, analysing the problem in the international context in the conditions of growing neoconservatism. Gender equality experiences in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia have been selected for this research.
