Queer Muslim Women Today

This event will bring together individuals, academics, activists and
communities to discuss a range of issues that impact on the lives of queer
Muslim women in the UK and beyond. Themes to be addressed include
statutory service provision, Islamic theology, the global context and
youth. There will also be live music and poetry performances from Ajah UK.

This is a free event but to help towards venue, food, performance and
speaker costs a recommended donation of £10 is requested. If you can give
more then that would be welcomed and will go towards our many other
activities for Muslim LBT women.
