WISE Conference 2009

Over 200 Muslim women from around the world gathered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from July 16 – 19, 2009 for the second international Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE) Conference. Among the highlights of the conference was the preview of the upcoming WISE Portal website. We have a target goal to launch this WISE Portal website at the start of Ramadan 2009 and can use your help!

Since this is your website, we are looking to you to provide valuable content. As a reminder, the following are the main sections of the WISE Portal for which we need submissions at this time:

  1. Muslim Women. If you would like to recommend women (past or present) that you feel should be featured on our Portal, please send us their profile.
  2. Talent Bazaar. To recommend talented Muslim women (e.g. fine artists, musicians, etc.), please send us their profile and links to samples of their work (if available).
  3. Current Issues. To highlight issues Muslim women are dealing with today (e.g. domestic violence, FGC, etc.), please send over articles, op-eds, case studies or whitepapers.
  4. Activism. Add to the directory of Muslim women’s organizations/campaigns around the world, please send us links to their websites and a brief description of their efforts.

Any questions and content can be sent to Ambreen Qureshi via .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
