society is the fact that some religious organisational hierarchies are still male dominated. Although there have been moves towards equality in many religions‚ for example the Church of England’s decision to ordain women as priests in 1992‚ many religions are still dominated by males who hold the top positions in the hierarchy. For example‚ in Islam‚ women are still no longer able to become an imam and hold a religious service. Therefore‚ in this sense‚ women are disadvantaged by religion today as they
