Abstract

This research was developed for the obtainment of a Master in Arts on the programme of Religious Pluralism: Ancient and Modern. The focus of this is how religious pluralism provides a context where different identities come to play and intersect. When we analyze religious pluralism and politics of gender and sexuality in the Netherlands they seem irreconcilable. This research brings attention from a qualitative approach into understanding how young people from the Groningen Feminist Network navigate different identities in this context. By focusing on how religious pluralism was constructed as well as the discourses of gender and sexuality framed in this notion of the secular we can understand that all forms of femininity are a target of gender discrimination and inequalities, and homosexuality as other non-heteronormative identities and behavior still face discrimination inside and outside the law, there is still a long way to go in these secular-liberal societies that like the Netherlands face this issues, especially now that this confrontation with different religious and cultural “others” force us to confront with our own actions. Keywords Religious Pluralism; Gender Roles; Sexuality; Secular; Young people’s identity; The Netherlands; Groningen Feminist Network
