What We Do
Muslim Women's Network UK works nationally to advance social justice and equality for Muslim women and girls who are from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds such as Arab, Bangladeshi, Black African / Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani, White etc. We improve the quality of their lives by helping to keep them safe (from all forms of abuse) and empowering them to exercise their rights, choices, and voices. The primary way we help women and girls is through our culturally sensitive multilingual helpline service, which includes in depth support via case workers (including an IDVA).
We are best placed to really understand their needs and concerns, the gaps in services and the unfair treatment they receive because of membership, local networks, research and helpline data. We ensure their voices and their lived experiences are heard by mainstream agencies, service providers and politicians. We use this information to challenge and change unjust attitudes, practices, policies and laws that contribute to their unfair treatment and poor outcomes in society and within communities. We also build the capacity of women and girls so they can also advocate for themselves and their families.
