Muslim Women's centre encourages females to step out into wider world

COMBATING isolation and empowering Muslim women to discover the wider world were the main aims behind a community event yesterday.

The Muslim Women's Organisation, based in Ilkeston Road, Radford, held a summer fair at Radford Recreation Ground.

The event, featuring stalls and a sports day-style competition for women and children, aimed to raise awareness of the centre's vital work – helping women among Nottingham's Muslim community for the past 40 years.

Sultana Syed, chairwoman of the organisation, said: "Women, especially in the Muslim community, can feel isolated. That in itself is a health problem, so we want to reduce that.

"We want them to be more aware of their rights and what they can do. The centre's work is all about empowering women."

The organisation hosts activities including prayer sessions, yoga classes and day trips, as well as giving advice.

Numbers attending the centre have steadily increased over the years and there are now more than 60 members.

Mrs Syed added: "All women have skills but some of them don't know what they are. Our achievement is the fact we can show them what their skills are."

Development officer Sakina Yusufali said the fair was one of the key events to encourage women to get involved. She added: "It's also an opportunity for women and children to enjoy themselves. We want women to be able to go out and discover the world."

Sabina Ali, of Albert Grove, Radford, started going to the centre about seven years ago.

The 52-year-old said: "I never stopped going once Ir a went for the first time. It's a very important place folot of women.

"Some Muslim women tend to be stuck in the house, so this is a way of getting them out and meeting more people."
