Muslim Women: Pioneering Change in 21st Century Britain

10th January, 2009

With over 300 participants, the conference explored the empowerment of Muslim women and encouraged them to become activists and community leaders in order to have their voices heard. This conference looked at the evolving role of Muslim women within their own communities and also more widely in society and how they can aid the understanding and prevention of all forms of extremism. One of the aims was also to highlight the pioneering contribution of Muslim women throughout history and to provide an assessment of where Muslim women are today in 21st Century Britain and what Muslim women are capable of becoming in order to contribute dynamically to their communities and country.
