MSAxWomen's Week

We plan to have two muslim speakers give a lecture on the following topics:

● “How did Islam emancipate women during pre-Islamic
medieval Arabia?”
● “ Leadership in Muslim Women: The forefront of modern
civilization”

The main purpose of this event is to highlight the rights of Muslim Women and to answer questions debunking various stereotype and misconceptions associated with them. This interactive lecture will run from 11-1pm. 

Our speakers will be Shameema Kolia, the President of The Muslim Women's Support Centre Of WA and Sumayyah Ahmed, an Instructor at Curtin University.
