🎙️ Hosted by Leicester Secular Society
The lived experience of female ex-Muslims often involves profound liberation and self-discovery ✨ alongside significant challenges, including social ostracism, family rejection, fear of violence, and navigating a new identity free from religious constraints. Many find community and empowerment through public activism or support groups 🤝.
Key themes include escaping patriarchal control (such as forced marriage or FGM), reclaiming autonomy over their bodies and choices (hijab, career, relationships), battling shame and stigma, and the difficult process of rebuilding lives and finding belonging 🌱.
The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session 🎤
