Скачать или смотреть Zara Faris - Empowering Women: Islam or Feminism? pt. 4

Do you have questions about the ever-contentious notion of feminism? Are you unsure of exactly where contradictions between feminism and Islam lie? Do you want to be able to improve the condition of Muslim women without being forced to carry the baggage of feminism? Do you wonder how Islam's model for optimised relationships between men and women can be applied - not only as a hypothetical - but right here, right now?

If so, please join us on Monday the 25th of February in the Diamond LT05 from 6:00 – 7:30pm, where Zara Faris will be delivering a talk titled ‘Empowering Women: Islam or Feminism?’
