Episode notes

On this episode, we speak with Ustadha Aisha, about women in Islam. Buidling on our conversation with Sheikh Lithome (Episode 4), we break myths and misconceptions against women in Islam. We explore how religious leaders and activists can come together to fight SGBV against women in Islam. What does Ustadha Aisha say? - Education is at the centre of it all! 

Ustadha Aisha is doing great work in her community! She is an Islamic teacher running a community-based organization, Soma Mama CBO, and a community centre, Darul Kheir Community Centre, both in Mukuru slums. Through her initiatives, Ustadha advocates for the education of Muslim women. She says, “As long as a Muslim woman is educated, she is able to take care of herself and her community!” Tune in! 

Continue following our series as we explore the link between religious norms and SGBV in Kenya.
