Why All Male Panels are Canceled

Hind Makki discusses all-male panels and additional exclusionary practices that marginalize Muslimahs, both in the audience and in expert spaces, at conferences, seminars, and in the masjid space itself! These under-represented panels are hurting our institutions and driving financially independent and Islamically educated women away from the masjid and Islamic organizations. Since many of us had to learn how to live without the masjid during key parts of our worship, are we going to go back if we continue to be under-represented there? Let's discuss the bottom line.For anyone who isn’t Muslim, there are some great breakdowns about Islam in here for you, too.​​How do you feel when you see all-male panels on parenting?  Links:Find Hind Makki on Twitter: @hindmakkiFind Hind Makki on IG: @sideentranceISNA statement on The Inclusion of Women in Masjids http://dvmcf.net/files/sacredspaces/2016-ISNA%20Statement.pdf   Fatwa by Fiqh Council of North America on women in the masjid: http://fiqhcouncil.org/the-inclusion-of-women-in-masjids/ #MuslimMaleAlliesThe picture that brought international attention on panels: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/06/28/saudi-arabian-womens-conference-picture_n_3515062.html Side Entrance on Women’s Experiences in the Masjid: https://sideentrance.tumblr.com/aboutHow the pandemic brought Muslim female scholarship forward: https://religionnews.com/2020/05/18/coronavirus-restrictions-on-mosques-bring-women-to-the-fore/ Study on Muslim Prayer Spaces by Sara Abdelghany at Georgetown U: https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/bitstream/handle/10822/1059375/Sara%20Abdelghany%20-%20Making%20Space%20Muslim%20Americans%20and%20Progressive%20Gender%20Activism%20in%20Mosques%20after%209%2011.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=y Celebrate Mercy elevating women: https://celebratemercy.com/ ISNA elevating women: https://isna.net/ Women’s Quran recitation at Islah LA on YouTube: https://youtu.be/R7-9wBSdaos Web: www.mommyingwhilemuslim.comEmail: mommyingwhilemuslim@gmDid you know you can send us a text?
