DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the courage of young Pakistani education activist Malala 
 Yousafzai to speak up for equal rights of women and girls, this panel 
 brings together local Bay Area Muslim women leaders to discuss Muslim 
 women’s agency and activism at our Sep. 12 event.  All too often, media 
 distorts the lives and views of Muslim women. We hear about sensational and 
 shocking violence against Muslim women as well as their passivity and 
 powerlessness. But what are the differences between media stereotypes of 
 Muslim women and the reality? Four local Muslim women leaders will speak 
 intimately to some of the top concerns facing American Muslim women: 
 Islamophobia, misguided prejudices about Islam and Muslim women, and the 
 shortage of role models and leaders.\n\n \n\nThis event celebrates IMOW’s 
 global exhibition, Muslima: Muslim Women’s Arts & Voices. Meet Muslima 
 curator Samina Ali in conversation with Zahra Billoo, Executive Director 
 for the Council of American Islamic Relations San Francisco Bay Area; 
 Ameena Jandali, co-founder of Islamic Networks Group; Ayesha Mattu, writer 
 and co-editor of the anthology, Love, Inshallah: The Secret Love Lives of 
 American Muslim Women; and Nuri Nusrat of the National Council on Crime & 
 Delinquency’s Restorative Justice Project.  \n\n\nRegistration and 
 refreshments at 5:15 p.m.; program from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices are 
 $15 general admission, $5 for IMOW members and partner members. Reserve 
 tickets by September 10. Tickets available online.\n\n \n
