Feminism, political revolution and 'honour based' violence affecting Muslim women are among the issues to be discussed at an international conference.
The Muslim Women's Activism Conference will feature speakers from Turkey, Belgium, America, Jordan, Bengal, Pakistan and the UK; and will be held on Thursday June 26 at the University of Derby's Enterprise Centre in Bridge St, Derby.
