Interreligious dialogue (IRD) holds significant promise for fostering peace, understanding, and social cohesion, yet its practice often mirrors existing societal inequalities. In many dialogue platforms, women, youth, marginalized communities, and actors from underrepresented socio-economic, ethnic, or religious backgrounds are excluded or under-represented, while elite or institutionally recognized actors dominate conversations. Drawing on practical experience with the Interreligious Dialogue Forum Platform (IDFP) under KAICIID in Nigeria, the Institute for Interreligious Dialogue and Islamic Studies (IRDIS) at Tangaza University in Nairobi, and the Center for Society and Religion (CSR) in Sri Lanka, this paper examines how dialogue initiatives can address these inequities in practice. It focuses on strategies for expanding access, amplifying marginalized voices, and balancing institutional and grassroots participation. Examples include: creating safe entry points for women and youth; designing dialogue spaces that accommodate low-literacy or non-elite participants; and facilitating sustained engagement for communities under political, social, or security pressures. Through a reflective, practitioner-informed lens, the paper explores the challenges and successes of these initiatives, highlighting how interreligious dialogue can move beyond symbolic encounters to meaningfully promote inclusion, equity, and justice. By showcasing concrete approaches and lessons learned, it contributes to understanding how dialogue can be both inclusive and transformative, offering guidance for practitioners, institutions, and policymakers seeking to reduce structural inequalities within interfaith initiatives.
