Tuesday, March 27, 2018, marks the second annual Muslim Women’s Day, a day created meant to celebrate Muslim women and amplify their voices.
The day was founded by the creator and founder of Muslim Girl, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, who felt inspired last year to create the day and celebrate it at the end of Women’s History Month because she felt that the need for amplifying Muslim women’s voices was urgent.
In an interview, she said, “It seemed natural and necessary to create an occasion like Muslim Women’s Day for this Women’s History Month…We’re on the heels of widespread conversations surrounding the Muslim Ban and even the women’s movement, and it comes at a time when Muslim women are increasingly targeted for their practice. Muslim Women’s Day is a positive response to this critical moment by celebrating a marginalized community that needs the public support right now.”
