Feminism is my jihad

The co-founders of Turkey鈥檚 first Muslim feminist association on navigating their faith and activism in a polarised, often patriarchal society.

The Muslim feminist movement is growing in Turkey with young women becoming increasingly vocal about their rights and place in a traditionally patriarchal society. Emily Wither has been speaking to the co-founders of the country鈥檚 first Muslim Feminist association about how they have overcome pushback from their own communities, threats to their organisation and navigated a civil society that鈥檚 rooted in secularism.
