Five Solutions to End All-Male Panels

Create a List of Local or National Female Scholars, Activists or Subject Area Experts

The beauty of this is that such a list already exists. A few years ago CAIR’s Zahra Billoo took it upon herself to create an ongoing Google doc of qualified Muslim female speakers in all geographic locations and subject areas. So, such a list exists. Now we need to distribute it to major Muslim organizations and masjids around the U.S. We need to begin identifying female leaders in their fields of expertise to help raise the bar and identify good role models for our younger sisters.
