ABOUT THE FILM
Sporting Sisters: the Stories of Muslim Women in Sport is a short documentary film, inspired by the 2012 Olympic Games, which brings together archival research and interviews with different generations of Muslim women, to preserve their voices for future generations as part of a Young Roots, Heritage Lottery Funded project.
The documentary takes a look at how fashion, specialist women's groups and cultural values have adapted to enable Muslim women to get involved in a range of sports, from cycling to boxing. It was filmed, produced and edited by a group of young Muslim women over the past year with support from youth research charity IARS, London Metropolitan University and the Women's Library.

Location

210 Euston Road. London NW1 2DA, Aga Khan University Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations
Challenging stereotypical understandings of gender roles in Muslim societies, this one-day course will highlight the multiple and changing constructs of these roles and identities both historically and in contemporary contexts. We will consider the entanglements of colonial, national and transnational projects and movements at different historical moments, which have shaped Muslims and imposed roles and expectations on them. Specific case studies will allow us to identify and assess socioeconomic, religious and political circumstances that inform gender roles and relations.
We will explore a range of topics, such as Islamic feminism, conflict and war, marriage, family law and sexuality, from the Middle East to North America. We will also examine the complex ways in which religion can be used both to restrict women’s roles and to serve as a tool for empowerment and independence. We will look at ways that Muslims have reacted to gender hierarchies: transgressing, reproducing or challenging them, through engagement in scholarship, activism and the creative arts.
The course will be taught through a combination of lectures and group discussions. It is offered jointly by AKU-ISMC and the Centre for Gender Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies.
Speaker Details:
Professor Nadje Al-Ali (SOAS) - Gender and the Arab Spring
Dr Kathryn Spellman Poots (AKU-ISMC) - Women’s mobilisation in Libya: Retrospect and prospects
Dr Ruba Salih (SOAS) - Women’s activism in Muslim contexts

Did you know the first person to accept the message of Islam presented by the beloved Prophet (saw) was a woman? Did you know the first martyr (shaheed) during the Prophethood of the final messenger was a woman? Did you know the oldest Islamic university still in operation today was founded by a woman? Did you know women taught both men and women in the beloved Prophet (saw) masjid?
We live in an era in which the role and contribution of Muslim women both past and present is misunderstood. Embark upon an eye-opening and thought provoking voyage to discover the legacy left by the illustrious female companions of the beloved Prophet (saw). Discover the contributions and lessons that can be extrapolated from the life of the Mothers of the Believers such as Khadija (ra), Hafsa (ra) & Aisha (ra). Absorb the anecdotal examples of numerous other women that contributed to the deen.
The course will highlight how the deen can empower women in today’s society to continue the inspirational legacy left by women of the past. An analysis into issues pertaining to the role of women in dawah, education, work, attending masjids will be delivered by the instructor.
Open to both Brothers & Sisters

The 'War on Terror' has received much scrutiny within a 'security' framework but the impact of the conflict on women and their political identities remains under-examined. This lecture will discuss the divisions that have split women's political movements in Pakistan, arguing that ultimately, the War on Terror and reconstruction efforts have served as exclusively male political tools rather than as drivers of women’s particularised rights.
