sister-hood is an award-winning digital magazine spotlighting the diverse voices of women of Muslim heritage.
sister-hood is a digital magazine and a series of live events. We create platforms for women of Muslim heritage to speak for themselves, rather than being spoken for or spoken about. sister-hood challenges stereotypes and promotes the fearless, progressive, creative voices of women of Muslim heritage.
sister-hood is currently on hiatus whilst we work on our relaunch. The site will still be available for your reading pleasure.
We'd like to thank all of our readers and contributors for their support over the years and look forward to coming back bigger, better and stronger.

March for the many stories untold
March for the many stories untold
The many sobs unheard
March for the many times a woman flinched
Not wanting to be touched, not wanting to be groped
March for when love turns purple
Marriages still are
March for the women in shambles
March for the dreams charred
March, for blues are still more wanted
More wanted than pink
March for yourself
March for your kin
March for a woman still clenches on keys
Always looks behind
Rape she still fears
To cover or to uncover
Others decide what she wears
March for she carries honor
March for she’s killed over it
March for the little girl
Who doesn’t understand the burden of brown paper still
March for a woman’s body
Is everyone’s but hers
March for those slut shamed
March for those unheard
March for the stories buried by time
March for the abortions
The many still in line
March for unhappy brides
Sold for a price
March for they’re still abused
March for their cries
March for today’s struggle
A tomorrow is seen
Where Eve walks upright, where Eve walks free
Where consent is more known a word
More known a word than safety
