MUSLIM FEMINISM…WHY NOT?

Rights Holder: Editions de l'Aube
Original Language: French

In the Muslim world just as in the West, so-called « secular » and « Muslim » feminists have joined forces. Their aim is to find solutions to the problems that are tied to how the status of women is changing: they have called for equal rights and have got involved in politics, religion and society to help change people’s mentalities away from an Islamic paradigm.

Malika Hamidi details the theoretical and historical foundations for this movement and its current application with the use of religious texts as well as examples from what’s happening in the world.

Her message is clear: Muslim women can and must join the feminist movement.

Malika Hamidi has a doctorate in sociology from the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), in Paris. She is the co-author of « Des Féminismes islamiques" ( La Fabrique - 2012). Malika is an expert recognized by the European institutions in Brussels and Strasbourg on questions related to the presence of Muslims in Europe.
