KARAMAH: MUSLIM WOMEN LAWYERS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS is a charitable,
educational organization that focuses on the domestic and
global issues of human rights for Muslims. KARAMAH is
committed to research, education, and advocacy work in matters
pertaining to Muslim women and human rights in Islam, as well
as civil rights and other related rights under the Constitution
of the United States.
KARAMAH
is founded upon the ideal that education, dialogue, and action
can counter the dangerous and destructive effects of ignorance,
silence, and prejudice.
KARAMAH
supports Muslim communities in America and abroad
in the pursuit of justice. When we talk of human rights abuses,
we often direct our attention to governments and institutions.
We must not forget, however, that the most basic of our rights
emerges within our private and our domestic spheres.
