Meet the 13 most powerful Muslim women in Britain.. Must Read and Forward to

All...

 

More Muslim women than ever are in leading positions in society, a fact that is

at worst misrepresented and at best under-reported.

 

Britain’s first Muslim Women Power List aims to change all that and recognise

the women who are making a difference

 

 

 

There are more than 100,000 Muslim women currently working in Britain, yet many

feel misunderstood and misrepresented. These women share the ambitions and

challenges of all working women: to succeed at a good job and often to combine

marriage and motherhood with a fulfilling career.

 

 

 

Yet searching for positive role models can be unrewarding work, and there has

not, until now, been a professional social network for working Muslim women.

 

 

 

With these issues in mind, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), in

association with The Times and Emel magazine, has published the first annual

Muslim Women Power List, a celebration of those who are on the way to, or have

already reached, the top of their chosen field. Any British Muslim over the age

of 18 could apply or be

nominated.

 

 

The aim was to create a network of women who could benefit from each other’s

experiences in the workplace; women who have shown strong leadership and made a

positive difference to their own and others’ work.. Working women are a small

percentage of the adult female Muslim population of 768,000, so the value of

positive role models is all-important.

 

 

 

 

“There aren’t many groups I can think of who are more stereotyped, yet less

understood by the wider community, than working Muslim women,†says Trevor

Phillips, EHRC chairman. “I hope this list will make the rest of Britain sit

up and take note – many members of the Muslim community are making a valuable

economic and social contribution

to our future.â€
