Islamic Feminism (Global Citizen Project)

So, I've been doing this project all year where basically I've had to research about Islamic Feminism. Think Feminism, but from a Muslim standpoint. Before you get all up in arms about the veil or whatever, I'm gonna just do a quick info dump on y'all right here.

In short; those articles are about how Muslim women need to stop being treated like crap by not only other Muslims, but by people around the world. We're all pretty much Muslim women's Regina George, in that they've been personally victimized by....everyone.

I had to do some research on some women in the movement too, and I'll add more later (probably) but it's 10:30 at night and I'm tired and I'll just give you the gist.

Malala Yousafzai- she's that girl that got shot in the head by the Taliban for speaking up for girls education in Muslim countries. She's pretty kick ass actually. She's only 17 and she's already won a Nobel prize, and raised a crap ton (somewhere in the millions) of money to build schools and encourage girls education.

This  is a pretty cool comic about her if y'all wanna check her out.

Shahla Sherket- She's even more kickass than Malala if you could believe it. She founded this magazine called Zanan that was pretty much the only thing calling out all the crap going on in the Muslim world. Of course, that pissed people off so they shut down the magazine (pst...she made another one that does the same thing but don't tell nobody). She's won a bunch of awards for journalism and standing up for women's rights, and she's got a masters in women's studies, and she's been arrested for her work (how metal is that?), and just she's super cool and inspiring and I love her?

So anyway, this is gonna require LOTS of editing eventually, but for now, I hope you learned something about Islamic Feminism. This has been a neato project, and I've learned a lot.
