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.

Do not tell us to calm down
Do not tell us to calm down
Do not tell us to shut up
Do not tell us to back down
When you never miss a chance
To shoot our dreams with your laws like arrows
But, do not forget
That within the gardens
You have burned throughout history
Some flowers learned to grow higher
Than the apartheid walls hiding the sun
With pines so sharp
They could break your arrows
And know
That your misogyny and sexism
Taught us the value of militancy
Also understand
That if you have destroyed what we had
You cannot get what we are
For revolutions are ideas
And ideas can not be killed.
