Activism
Also in this section
“Muslim women throughout the world, both in Muslim majority and Muslim minority countries have a rich history of fighting for their rights, creating positive social change and uplifting their communities through service and advocacy, education and media, health and social services, philanthropy and spiritual growth. Today, many organizations around the globe are doing important work on the ground with Muslim women and their communities. Through the use of culturally sensitive and context specific tools, best practices and innovative strategies, these organizations and campaigns are a part of a diverse and active global movement of Muslim women’s activism.”
