Today, Muslim women have more opportunities than ever before to learn from and even engage some of the most courageous voices calling for reform within the Muslim community. As such, I often find myself seeking inspiration in the resilience of other women and men fighting the misogyny so toxic to and so rampant within our faith community. As someone who works against these abuses, I receive regular communications from young women (and some men, too) about the horrendous violence, harassment and intimidation they experience due to their faith and cultures being used against them.
It is a sad, frustrating and undeniable reality that even in the 21st century, Muslim-majority countries are still some of the worst offenders when it comes to violations of women’s rights and bodily integrity. The struggle against the oppression of women can seem endless. Discussion and dialogue are vital to the growth of any society. Raquel Evita Saraswati sheds light on a feminist voice of reason.
