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.

Video interview with activist Leyla Hussein
Leyla Hussein is a psychotherapist and social activist against FGM working with many organisations challenging the practice and supporting survivors in the UK. Leyla talks to sister-hood in an open and touching conversation that covers the devastating effects of FGM on 200 million women worldwide, which Leyla describes as a form of child abuse that is used to control the sexuality of women and girls. She talks about feeling like an outsider, how she encounters racism and sexism on the conference circuit, and how building a world full of love and kindness will take resistance against oppression, racism and violence. She also pays tribute to the important women in her life: her mother, her daughter – and Christina Aguilera.
