Inspire is a women’s human rights organisation which seeks to address inequalities facing British Muslim women. By empowering women, Inspire aims to create positive social change resulting in a more democratic, peaceful and fairer Britain. Women are key to the development and prosperity of any society; Inspire believes that Muslim women are no different and are capable of being at the forefront of strengthening communities as well as tackling problems both within Britain and internationally.
We provide a number of different services including consultancy, training and development, publications, delivery of campaigns and the creation of local women’s networks. We manage projects on a local, national and international level focusing on empowering Muslim women, strengthening community cohesion, preventing all forms of extremism, enhancing gender equality and promoting human rights.

As the tenth anniversary of the atrocities of September 11th 2001 draws closer, we wish to take this opportunity to come together to reiterate our profound sympathy for the victims of the attacks in the US. We also honour the memory of all victims of terrorism in all nations around the world.
We have stopped taking any bookings for the training programme on the 19th May 2012.
Due to the high interest for the programme we are now planning to come to various locations in England, Wales and Scotland. If you would like us to organise a women and mosque governance programme in your area please contact Faith Associates on 0845 273 3904.
