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.

The role of Ramadhan
Violent harangues of hunger pangs,
Solemnly suppressed by invoking hands.
Tired, listless, lethargic limbs,
Silently cleanse the soul from sins.
Somnolent, tired eyes,
Stay awake to seek their prize.
Dehydrated, throbbing heads,
Understand the blessings of health.
A gathering of pleading tears,
Release their inmost guarded fears.
A month of abstinence, leads to thankfulness.
Spiritual maintenance.
