Summary

Bringing women’s voices together, unaltered, unadulterated. Platforming stories and experiences of Muslim women, so they can own their narrative.

Description

Why this project

Female experiences and stories, in particular those of Muslim women, are all too often reduced, simplified, marginalised. Our stories and narratives are often told by others through their own ideological lens, and frustratingly men will often champion these as their own, hiding implicit racist misogyny.

I want to platform the stories and experiences of Muslim women, so they can own their narrative, without the cultural filters that often knead these into something else.

An inclusive platform

She Speaks We Hear aims to do just that: simply, hear the voices, and explore the experiences of women from all backgrounds. To simply listen.

My own life story and experience means I am acutely aware of what it is to be silenced because of one’s faith, culture and ethnicity, and gender. Similarly, through my professional experience, I have observed that as a group, Muslim women often have their voices silenced. We face the complex interplay between prejudices arising as a result of our gender, socio-economic status, faith, ethnicity and sexuality, which cause multiple barriers to having our voices meaningfully heard and engaged with.

Sometimes, when Muslim women’s voices are given a platform, it is hijacked by others for their own political or ideological aims, (intentionally or unintentionally), effectively speaking on our behalf, and undermining our agency.

She Speaks We Hear is an online platform for women of any background, to be heard on their terms without being hijacked or silenced by sexism, racism or social disadvantage.
