The European Forum of Muslim Women has been created at the beginning of 2006, following a series of the European Coordination of Muslim female associations active in several European countries.

The European Forum works within the European Union for the consolidation of bonds and the exchange of experiences between the various members in order to support the involvement of the Muslim woman in the society as a citizen and to better response to her worries and to defend her interests and apply to the European and international authorities.

The European Forum of Muslim Women organizes its first European Congress

Saint-Denis, the 25th January 2006

The recent topicality related on the questions which milked with Islam and more particularly to the fate which would be reserved to the women, again plunges us in polemic virgins of any direction where the rights of Muslim women are called into question by some which denounce their alleged alienation with the man.

What comes into your mind when you think of a Muslim woman? A mysterious veiled victim of male oppression, awaiting Western liberation? A slogan-shouting terrorist? An uneducated foreigner with whom you have little in common? These thoughts have prompted me to organise a seminar with the European Forum of Muslim Women to encourage a dialogue within Europe, and hopefully to find answers to these complex questions.
