About the Image
In November 2006, Muslim women attended the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equity in New York. The aim of the initiative is to create an opportunity for different voices to discuss issues of women's rights, roles, and responsibilities, and generate a broader, more inclusive Islamic framework for understanding global Muslim women's issues.
