Nominations open for Muslim Women Power List 2009
Howard Lake | 15 January 2009 | News
Nominations are now open for the Muslim Women Power List 2009.
The Muslim Women Power List is designed to celebrate the achievements of Muslim women in business, the arts, media, voluntary and public sectors. Its organisers, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), want it to raise awareness of Muslim Women’s social and economic contribution to British working life.
Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: “By celebrating the success of British Muslim women in business, the arts, media and the public sector, the Power List will challenge stereotypes”.
The EHRC claim that this is the first time an organisation has sought to identify and celebrate professional Muslim women in the UK in this way. The project is being piloted this year with a view to maintaining a network of women who can benefit from each others’ experiences of forging a career.
Any British Muslim woman over the age of 18 and in employment may apply; nominations may be submitted by or on behalf of an individual.
Submissions close on 13 February 2009.
