'Muslim Girls Fence' is a collaboration between Maslaha and British Fencing aiming to challenge misperceptions of and raise aspirations among young Muslim women, in the light of the complex discrimination experienced by this group on the basis of both faith and gender.
Every school that works with the initiative receives ten weeks of weekly fencing sessions alongside immersive and creative Maslaha workshops, exploring identity, self-expression and challenging stereotypes.
Our community projects will be running throughout 2018 across cities including London, Doncaster and Birmingham. They offer Muslim women the chance to participate in physical activity through fencing and swordplay sessions.
