People involved

We are very grateful to all the people who have worked hard to bring this project to life. Particular thanks are due to all those who have taken the time to share their stories with us. The twelve women featured here are only a very small sample of the talent represented by Muslim women in Britain today. You can meet more role models at the Roadshows taking place around the country and on our Facebook page.

Project management: This project was managed by Equal to the Occasion, a communications consultancy run by Helen Wollaston.

Partners
