And just like that, we have put our 4th annual Muslim Women’s Day behind us! This year, we honed in on autonomy in all its facets, and what the concept of autonomy represents to the many diverse Muslim women who form our wonderful #MuslimGirlArmy.
We were blessed and honored to have a tsunami of vital and perspective-changing conversations and narratives flood our newsfeeds. We got to witness the strength and resilience that Muslim women have to offer as they reclaimed their narratives, and centered their voices on this day designed to celebrate and elevate THEM.
From misconceptions to straight-up misinformation, the hurdles that some Muslim women have to overcome are monumental, so make no mistake, Muslim Women’s Day is an absolutely necessity, and this round-up of tweets proves why. Here are 11 tweets that gave us the feels, and showed the world why Muslim Women’s Day is so important.
