As part of KARAMAH<\/small>\u2019s efforts to support women\u2019s leadership by providing scholarship and education, it recently hosted a delegation of thirteen Jordanian woman religious leaders, including the Director of the Women\u2019s Affairs Directorate from Jordan\u2019s Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs, and Holy Places. KARAMAH<\/small> regularly meets with delegations of International women and Muslim leaders, and was excited to exchange ideas and information with such respected leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the meeting, KARAMAH<\/small> staff shared the organization\u2019s history, mission, and recent efforts to create, collect, and provide high quality scholarship and educational materials on human rights, women\u2019s rights, and civil rights in Islam. Delegates were especially excited to hear about KARAMAH<\/small>\u2019s collection of research on women\u2019s rights in Islam. Delegates were specifically interested in reviewing scholarship on issues of domestic violence and women\u2019s education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After hearing about KARAMAH<\/small>\u2019s work, delegates spoke about the important role preachers, religious teachers, and counselor\u2019s play in the communities they serve. Many delegates focused on their efforts to educate communities on women\u2019s rights in Islam, including issues of domestic violence, inheritance rights, financial rights, marital rights, and rights to education. Delegates focused on the need to advocate for women\u2019s education, especially in light of a growing \u201ctechnology gap\u201d, where male students\u2019 technological literacy rates are growing faster than those of female students. Delegates also noted a greater need for women to understand and advocate for their marital rights, with many refugee women bending to pressure for a decreased mahr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, KARAMAH<\/small> staff and the visiting delegates agreed to exchange resources and make efforts to support each other\u2019s work. Delegates noted the need for respected scholarship that promotes women\u2019s rights and human rights from a religious perspective, and was eager to receive additional training and articles from KARAMAH<\/small>. Likewise, KARAMAH<\/small> recognized the need for smart and committed women who can spread awareness about women\u2019s rights in Islam, and was excited to support the work of women such as the delegates who are connected directly to communities. KARAMAH<\/small> and the delegates expect to continue exchanging ideas, and look forward to future collaboration, including inquiries from participants who were interested in attending KARAMAH<\/small>\u2019s 10th Annual Law and Leadership Summer Program (LLSP).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
