Muslim Women's Day: Making Feminism Inclusive with Shahed Ezaydi

Join us for Muslim Women's day with writer and journalist Shahed Ezaydi to promote her crowdfunding campaign for her new book The Othered Women: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women via Unbound.

White liberal feminism has long treated Muslim women as both invisible - by actively excluding them from women’s liberation movements, and hypervisible - with the near-obsession of liberating or ‘saving’ them. Both harm Muslim women.

In conversation with Muna Ahmed, they will discuss the problematic nature of White liberal feminism and just how closely intertwined it is with Islamophobia. Tackling widely held myths that white feminism can hold regarding Muslin Women including single-issue oppression, liberation politics, the inherent misogyny of Muslim men. In her debut book, Shahed shows us how Muslim women are fighting for their liberation in their own way.

'From liberation politics to single-issue oppression, Shahed’s nuanced investigation of gendered Islamophobia brings an essential perspective to intersectional feminist literature.’
