Talk 4: The Khilafah and Women
Speaker: Dr Nazreen Nawaz
The women of the Muslim world suffer under the current political and
social climate in the Muslim World. The common perception is that it is
Islam and regressive attitudes to women that is the cause for this.
Dr Nazreen Nawaz will argue that in reality it is the absence of Islam
that has created an appalling situation for women the world over. She
will argue that it is only Islam, through the Khilafah, that can
establish women as active citizens, whist retaining strong social
family structures, and guaranteeing their safety and security. She will
challenge the common argument that a return to Islam in society is
synonymous with the ‘Talibanisation’ of society.
