As we witness an increase in violence against women in Sudan and beyond, we must reclaim the Islamic narrative: a woman’s body is a trust (Amānah), protected by dignity and by her fundamental rights to safety, bodily integrity, and freedom from violence.

In Islam, marriage is a Mithāq Ghalīz - a solemn covenant. This contract is the space where a woman can define her terms, protect her future, and ensure her agency is respected from the first day. Don't let the misuse of tradition silence your legal rights.

Supporting women after loss means going beyond giving your condolences. In the spirit of Musawah, we believe that justice at home means recognizing the inherent dignity and agency of every head of household, regardless of gender. Let’s move from pity to partnership.

Happy International Day of Families! A family built on equality and justice is a family built to last. For Musawah, family is the heartbeat of a just society. But we know that for love to flourish, the foundation must be rooted in dignity, justice, and equality.

What if everything you were told about male authority in Islam, was not actually a Qur'anic injunction? Does the traditional definition of Qiwamah still sit right with you? Or is it time for a more "beautiful" interpretation? Let’s talk. #MusawahMovement #IslamicFeminism

🔴 OUT NOW: SIHA Network presents "The Henna Tree," a documentary in collaboration with @AyinSudan, dedicated to women and girls who survived war atrocities in Al-Gezira State. The short film explores the lived realities of women and girls, and their experiences living under RSF control for one year, between December 2023 to January 2025. It also highlights the attempts of women survivors to find healing and normalcy through a return to education under difficult and unpredictable circumstances. 🎥 Watch the entire film here: youtu.be/4EQ8kdNWMaA?si=yZC4… #HennaTree #WarInSudan #KeepEyesOnSudan -------------------------- @Halayalkarib @UNGeneva @eu_eeas @UNHumanRights @UN_Sudan @UNDP_Sudan @UNOCHA_Sudan @DWAG6 @DNforHR @USEmbassyKRT @AfricaAW @UKinSudan @RepSaraJacobs @_Nalafem @BSonblast @noonforwomen @el_karama @feministconsci1 @SudanHRH @HkZuk @AfriFeminists @DutchMFA @fidh_un @GCR2P @CIHRS_Alerts @ISHRglobal @UNTrustFundEVAW @unwomensudan @NLinSudan @DefendDefenders @ngowgwps @JamesCopnall @DavidLammy @antonioguterres @_AfricanUnion @sudan_doctors @SecRubio @Swiss_Khartoum @AmbRamsoekh @RadioDabanga @kajakallas @EU_SUDAN @eu_echo @UNICEFSudan @UNICEF @UNICEFAfrica @UNReliefChief @WolframVetterEU

For too long, "knowledge" about Muslim families has been produced by people who don't actually live the lives they are regulating. Read Chapter 9 from the “ Men in Charge?” book to know about these powerful life stories and see the data behind the movement. #MusawahMovement

Is marriage a partnership or a contract of exchange? Does the "provide/obey" logic still show up in your community's laws? Let's discuss below. 👇 #MusawahMovement #ZibaMirHosseini #IslamicFeminism #GenderEquality #MuslimFamilyLaw #Qiwamah #LegalReform #FreeOurFamilyLaws

SIS Forum (Malaysia) extends our invitation to the theatre production “Sebagai Perempuan”. A theatre piece that brings together stories of womanhood — as daughters, mothers, partners, and individuals navigating identity in a complex world. Presented by ARTease, this production explores lived experiences shaped by memory, emotion, and reflection — highlighting the softness and strength, vulnerability and courage that coexist in women’s lives. More than just a performance, Sebagai Perempuan creates a space for reflection — inviting us to listen, understand, and honour voices that are often unheard. ✨ We’re also honoured to be part of the pre-show conversations alongside our NGO partners. 🎟 Get your tickets here: forms.gle/chpsUFgJ7hvzDQB38 (Part of the proceeds will support our work so we can continue advocating for justice and equality.) 💍 There will also be a pre-loved jewellery sale for charity in support of SIS Forum — come by and show your support! ⚠️ Limited to 40 seats per show — book early! #SebagaiPerempuan #ARTease #TheatreKL #WomenStories #SISForumMalaysia #WomensVoices #BodilyAutonomy
