Inquiry into Gendered Islamophobia - Official Submission

The Anti-Islamophobia Working Group has officially submitted evidence to the Gendered Islamophobia inquiry conducted by the Women and Equalities Committee. 

This inquiry is a welcome step in understanding how Muslim women specifically are impacted by Islamophobia. 

Our report highlights the triple penalty Muslim women face: race, faith and gender. This intersectionality is importantly in understanding the experiences of Muslim women and how their identity can create vulnerabilities.

Those that observe hijab are also the first to become victim to hate crime and abuse due to their visible Muslim identity.
