Muslim Women’s Network UK

Living in the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Iran in the Middle East during my childhood and later in adult life, has been one of the most enriching experiences. I have learnt so much about their culture, and the Islamic faith. I try to do all that I can to tackle inequalities in my work life, and personal life and one way that I do that is through supporting minority ethnic families, charities, and organisations.

In September 2025, I donated to the Muslim Women’s Network to help fund their Muslim Women’s Helpline which is a lifeline for Muslim women experiencing domestic abuse. Their helpline offers confidential, culturally sensitive advice and support. 

“Domestic abuse disproportionately affects minority ethnic women, many of whom cannot access mainstream services due to language barriers or cultural pressures. With minoritised women accounting for 24% of domestic homicide victims despite representing only 18% of the population”.

As part of the Nottingham Review work, we work closely with Nottingham Muslim Women’s Network which supports Muslim women across Nottinghamshire. Their ongoing support has so positively impacted the Review, and has helped the Review to support women from minority ethnic groups who may feel unsure about sharing their experience.
