Annual Review 2007: Sisters in Islam: Empowering Voice for Change
In 2007, SIS intensified its work in the areas of research,
public education and international networking. Our
legal clinic, too, recorded a 20 percent increase in
cases.
In order to cultivate mass support for our Islamic
Family Law reform efforts, we expanded our work
at the grassroots level, connecting with those who
were most affected by the legislation. Our aim was
to educate women on their rights within Islam, thus
empowering them, as well as to deepen our alliances
at the national and international levels. Our strong
relationship with grassroots women proved useful In
the face of rising extremist voices in 2006 which saw
a campaign directed against “liberal Islam” and
attempts to undermine our credibility by labelling SIS
a “liberal” group.
