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.

Opening up
They told you to stay
Told you,
Inna ma’al usri yusra
With every hardship,
Comes ease
Black eyes,
Bruised skin,
Busted lips,
Broken teeth
They told you to stay
Told you,
Inna ma’al usri yusra
With every hardship,
Comes ease
At least you sleep
With a belly full,
Babies tucked in bed
a body to press into
They told you to stay
Told you,
Inna ma’al usri yusra
With every hardship,
Comes ease
So you agreed.
Shut your mouth,
Forgot yourself,
and stayed.
