Muslim Women's Empowerment | A LIFESEXPERTS Webinar Teaser

Hello, curious folk. I'm Leah, and it's time for me to invite you to yet another Life's Experts webinar. Join us on the 22nd of January when we'll explore the topic of Muslim women's 21st century empowerment. For this webinar, I have invited Ruby, the founder of the Unshaming Project. Ruby will help us explore how religious beliefs and social norms Affect women in Muslim societies today. This is a little bit from Ruby now.

If someone says to you, you must cover your head, it's very easy to say no. But if the same person tells you that it's Allah's command, he wants you to cover your head, now it's a completely different matter. It's very hard to say no. I received many such messages as Allah's commandments. I must cover my head. I must obey my husband. I must serve my family at the expense of my own well-being. It seemed that the only way to be a good woman was to deny my own womanhood, and which is what I did for many years. It was only when I left Pakistan that I realized that I had accepted abuse in the name of culture and religion. So then started a journey of healing, unshaming, and reclaiming my own womanhood. So join me in this webinar where Leah and I explore the intricacies of religion and culture and how it impacts our sexuality. Thank you.
