Islamic Women's Movement

The Islamic Women's Movement is a diverse movement advocating for women's rights and roles within the framework of Islamic principles. It seeks to reinterpret or emphasize aspects of Islam that support gender equality, social justice, and women's empowerment, often challenging traditional or cultural practices that limit women's participation. While approaches vary across regions and groups—ranging from reformist to conservative—the movement generally aims to balance religious values with contemporary views on gender equity, promoting education, legal rights, and social participation for Muslim women.
