Join us for an evening with Dr Hind Elhinnawy to discuss her new book: Secular Muslim Feminism: An Alternative Voice in the War of Ideas.For over a century, Muslim women have championed their own brand of feminism, rooted in human rights principles and a deep understanding of their diverse cultural contexts. Yet, secular Muslim feminism remains shrouded in misunderstanding and contention.
Drawing on over two decades of personal observations and interactions with diverse organizations in the Middle East and Europe, the book delves into the heart of secular Muslim feminism, dissecting its nuances and potential to reconcile divergent perspectives. Secular Muslim Feminism challenges simplistic portrayals of Muslim women, dismantling the harmful narratives of oppression and victimhood propagated by both Western and Islamist agendas.
Dr Hind Elhinnawy is a senior lecturer at Nottingham Trent University has dedicated over two decades to challenging the status of women in Muslim societies.
Refreshments will be provided.
