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.

We are free
We are free.
We are free to do harm or not.
We are free to lie or tell the truth, to say hurtful words or remain silent.
We are free to steal or not, to kill or not, to respect or not.
This freedom has nothing to do with books or constitutions or laws, nor with place or culture or religion.
It has nothing to do with individual rights either, nor anything established.
We were born free to choose our behaviour.
Every day, every time we make a decision on what to do or say, we are free to choose harm or love.
We are free.
It is an immense privilege.
