KARAMAH was fortunate to have Ms. Manal Omar, associate vice president for the Middle East and Africa Center at the United States Institute of Peace deliver the Keynote speech on LLSP\u2019s inaugural day. Ms. Omar spoke to the participants about Muslim Women Leadership. She emphasized the importance of the feminine leadership style. \u201cWomen leaders should,\u201d she advised, \u201cembrace their inherent qualities \u2013 compassion, fluidity, and the openness to feel. When we lose the feminine and try to adopt the masculine, for example by suppressing our emotions to replace with a sense of detachment, that can lead to a loss of balance, and it is that balance that provides strength in leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms. Omar explained that many times women encounter violence because dictators and extremist groups target women and try to control them. Ms. Omar asserts that \u201cwomen don\u2019t stay in victimhood, most are already survivors.\u201d The public perceives Muslim women as enablers of the patriarchy. Ms. Omar declared that, \u201cIt is time for Muslim women themselves to define their identity and legacy. It is time to reclaim our strength and our stories.\u201d The reclaiming strength is an important step, but \u201cwe should not indulge in seeing our religion through rose colored glasses. It is equally important that we hold those who dictate extreme forms of Islam accountable. We do this by digging deeper into the root causes of conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is our hope at KARAMAH that LLSP participants are able to develop a greater understanding of conflict resolution in their communities throughout the next few weeks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
