Live Discussion: Prayer and Pepper Spray: American Muslim Women Safety

Live Discussion: Prayer and Pepper Spray: American Muslim Women Safety December 8, 2016

Dilshad and Me flyer3

The increase of attacks on Muslim women across the country once again raises questions about the safety of Muslim women, hindrances on their autonomy, and the importance of dialogues about defense of self in American Muslim Communities. The of aggression against easily-identified covered Muslim women and prevalent media portrayal of them as perpetual victims also regenerates the need to address issues of the politicization of hijab, examine national narratives stereotyping us as feeble, and foster a shift from victimization to resistance.

Join Layla Abdullah-Poulos and Dilshad Ali as they discuss:

Muslim women safety
Muslim women frailty stereotyping
Hijab politics
Shifting discourses in American Muslim communities that make women increasingly vulnerable
