Es un movimiento que reivindica el papel de las mujeres en Islam. Aboga por la igualdad completa de todos los musulmanes, sin importar el sexo o género, tanto en la vida pública, como en la vida privada y por la justicia social, en un contexto islámico. Aunque arraigado en el Islam, el movimiento también ha tenido como referencia los discursos feministas seculares o no musulmanes y se reconoce como parte integrante del movimiento feminista. Las voceras del movimiento intentan destacar las enseñanzas de igualdad profundamente arraigadas en el Corán y animar la crítica de la interpretación patriarcal de las enseñanzas del Corán (libro sagrado), el hadiz (refranes de Mahoma) y la sharía (ley) y el estudio de los textos considerados sagrados en orden de lograr la equidad de géneros, contribuyendo a la construcción de una sociedad más equitativa. El feminismo islámico intenta crear un espacio entre dos posiciones contrarias, pero complementarias y muy divulgadas ambas, que niegan la posibilidad misma de existencia de tal feminismo: de un lado, el fundamentalismo islámico que considera al feminismo como una invención occidental, resultado de la aborrecida modernidad y del otro lado las posturas feministas o liberales que sostienen la incompatibilidad entre el feminismo y el Islam, opinión a veces acompañada por la negación de la existencia de movimientos feministas en los países musulmanes. Valentine Moghadam, socióloga y jefa de la sección de “Igualdad de Géneros y Desarrollo” de la Unesco, considera que esas dos posiciones extremas no permiten comprender el surgimiento de los movimientos reformistas.El feminismo islámico está presente en diferentes países, desde el Maghreb, el Máshreq y Asia, hasta Europa y Estados Unidos, movilizándose contra el patriarcado a partir de referencias musulmanas. ​ Un Congreso Internacional sobre el Feminismo Musulmán se llevó a cabo en Barcelona del 27 al 29 de octubre de 2005El feminismo musulmán se funda en el ijtihad, o interpretación del Corán, para cuestionar el lugar de las mujeres en los países musulmanes y en el Islam. Otorga un papel central a la educación como elemento de autonomía de las mujeres.El concepto de “feminismo islámico” fue elaborado después de 1990 principalmente por las mujeres iraníes, laicas que se interesaron en el surgimiento del movimiento feminista después de 1980 y reformularon la problemática del feminismo al interior del paradigma islámico. Las tesis de las iraníes circularon en Sudáfrica, Egipto, Turquía, Europa y Estados Unidos.

when i show up, the colonizers tremble. when i show up, there are hearts filled with rage. when i show up, i have already inspired the environment that an unborn girl of color will inherit. i am the strength of my ancestors. i have survived thus far from the prayers of my elders. it will take much more to break this woman, and i promise you, i will rise every time that i fall.

The hijab ain’t the problem either 🙌 it’s misogyny

In honor of World Hijab Day, I’d like to take a moment to tell you what hijab means to me. I’ve been wearing hijab since I was 8 years old (about 13 years now) and I only grow to love it more and more each day. Contrary to what ignorant people want you to believe, the purpose of hijab is to free a woman from being seen only for her sexuality. I think most women (and even men) would agree that it’s a liberating feeling to be able to dress how we’d like and not how others would like to see us. Headscarves are seen in almost every religion in some form or another: Christian nuns, Orthodox Jewish women, etc. I love wearing hijab because it has given me the self esteem and ability to love myself for who I am. And because I’m able to do that, others can too. My husband fell in love with who I am and not with my body because the only things I chose to let him see were my heart and mind. He saw me for who I was as a human being. Everyone I meet is forced to see me for who I am because that’s the only side of me I choose to share. To me, and millions of women, there is beauty in that. I know that there are women in the world who do not have the privilege of a choice (namely in Saudi Arabia) and I stand against this injustice. However, there are also places in the world (recall France’s 2016 Burkini Ban) where women are penalized for covering as well. Both are wrong. Women should have the basic human right to choose to dress to ANY level of modesty at which they feel comfortable without any fear. This is what Islam has taught me and this is what hijab has taught me.

Quran 2:223 actually. Your wives are your tilth; go, then, into your tilth as you wish […]

Quran 4:3 If you fear that you might not treat the orphans justly, then marry the women that seem good to you: two, or three, or four. […]

Quran 4:34 […] As for women of whom you fear rebellion, admonish them, and remain apart from them in beds, and beat them.[…]

Muslim woman in hijab: I feel discriminated against for wearing the hijab. Liberal feminists: *Takes part in World Hijab Day* *Wears hijab in women’s marches* *Glorifies hijabis in media*  Ex-Muslim women: I took off the hijab and I was ostracised from my community. My family and friends abandoned me.  Liberal feminists: *Silence*  Liberal feminists: Did you ever consider… maybe you were being Islamophobic?
