Making Waves: Expressions of Gender Equality in the Islamic Tradition
This film by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) was released to coincide with International Women's Day 2014. It is based on research International IDEA has completed and published focusing on successful actions women and other marginalised groups have undertaken in overcoming their exclusion from political and religious institutions.
'Making Waves' explores the challenges faced and the progress made by women activists and scholars, and their male counterparts, in promoting interpretations of the Qur'an and Hadiths that empower women and promote justice, equality and dignity. It identifies ways in which women have successfully overcome the barriers preventing them from engaging in the discourse concerning interpretations of the Qur'an and Hadiths.
Zainah Anwar, Director of Musawah and co-founder of Sisters in Islam identifies some of these barriers when she states in the film:
When Muslim women demand for change and demand for equality, we are told that this is against Islam and this is divine law; it cannot be changed. We wanted to break the monopoly that only the Ulama, only the religious authorities have the right to talk about Islam and to define what is Islam and what is not Islam. Our position is that if Islam is used as a source of law and public policy, everyone has a right to speak on Islam, whether you are a scholar or not a scholar, whether you are a Muslim or not a Muslim; if you want to use religion as a source of law or public policy, what we are debating is public law and public policy and how it impacts on us and our rights as citizens within a democratic nation state.
Both the film and the research publications are available in the 'Democracy and Diversity' section on the website of International IDEA. The film is also available on IDEA's video channels at Vimeo and YouTube.
