Linked with Zainah Anwar – Malaysia, with Sisters in Islam’s battle, with TAM – The American Muslim, and with The Sisters in Islam SIS.

First: Watch a video about the work of Women’s Learning Partnership.

They write about themselves: WLP Women’s Learning Partnership for rights, development and peace is dedicated to women’s leadership and empowerment. At its essence, WLP is a builder of networks, working with 18 autonomous and independent partner organizations in the Global South, particularly in Muslim-majority societies, to empower women to transform their families, communities, and societies.

We strongly believe that women, working in partnership, will learn the skills and implement the strategies needed to secure human rights, contribute to the development of their communities, and ultimately create a more peaceful world.

Linked with Zainah Anwar – Malaysia, with TAM – The American Muslim, with Women’s learning partnership WLP, and with Sisters in Islam’s battle.

Sisters in Islam SIS is a group of Muslim professional women committed to promoting the rights of women within the framework of Islam. Our efforts to promote the rights of Muslim women are based on the principles of equality, justice and freedom enjoined by the Qur’an as made evident during our study of the holy text.

We uphold the revolutionary spirit of Islam, a religion which uplifted the status of women when it was revealed 1400 years ago. We believe that Islam does not endorse the oppression of women and denial of their basic rights of equality and human dignity.

TAM, The Original, launched in 1989. It was published as a quarterly print journal from 1989 to 1995. The FOUNDING EDITOR was Sheila Musaji. The journal included an original piece of calligraphy by Mohamed Zakariya as an insert in each issue.

The American Muslim is dedicated to the promotion of peace, justice, and reconciliation for all humanity. We strive to:

• Provide an open forum for the discussion of ideas and issues of concern to Muslims in America from various points of view (based on Qur’an and Sunnah) representing no one school of thought, ethnic group or organization, but to encourage all to be represented in these pages and to speak for themselves;
• Provide a forum for and encourage inter-community dialogue particularly on divisive issues, and to encourage interfaith dialogue to find common ground for cooperation on issues of mutual concern;
• Provide the most comprehensive information possible about individual and group efforts and projects to enable networking and cooperative effort;
• Offer support and encouragement and provide shura (consultation) to those who are speaking publicly on behalf of the Muslim community;
• Help Muslims with a deep personal commitment to Islam and to America to locate each other. Help people of faith (Muslims, Christians and Jews) who share our concern for dialogue, peaceful resolution of problems to find each other so they can work together;
• Provide a balanced, moderate, alternative voice focusing on the spiritual, dimension of Islam rather than the more often heard voice of extreme political Islamism.
