What We Do
Muslim Women's Network UK (MWNUK) is the only national Muslim women's organisation in Britain. We are a small national charity (no. 1155092) and work to improve the social justice and equality for Muslim women and girls. We have a national membership of individuals and organisations with a collective reach of tens of thousands of Muslim women. Our membership also includes women of others faiths / no faith and men who support our work.
We find out about the experiences of Muslim women and girls through research and helpline enquiries. We identify policy and practice gaps and use this information to inform decision makers in government (including at Ministerial level) and other other public bodies. Our knowledge about the issues faced by Muslim women and girls also inform our community campaigns. We also develop resources and training so women and girls are better informed about their rights and how to access support and help.
