Partnership to End Gendered Islamophobia: What is Gendered Islamophobia?
Building upon a history of shared values and intersecting work, the Partnership to End Gendered Islamophobia brings together HEART, Justice for Muslims Collective and Vigilant Love to build analysis, tools and power to dismantle Gendered Islamophobia. This workshop is specifically tailored towards practitioners in the field of gender-based violence and gender justice. We will focus on ways practitioners can better understand how gendered Islamophobia shows up in their work, and ways to respond in holistic ways. The workshop will include a focus on the intersection of gendered Islamophobia, gender-based violence and reproductive justice. The workshop will emphasize the invisibility of state violence in understanding gender-based violence and particularly the implications of the War on Terror and Islamophobia for Muslim survivors of gender-based violence. Moreover, this workshop will also include discussions upon intra-community solidarity and what can be done within broader Asian American spaces to address gendered Islamophobia.
