This is the trailer video of the upcoming conference organised by the Women's Section of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir entitled, "Women and Shariah: Separating Fact from Fiction", on the 28th March 2015. This conference has been preceded by a rigorous campaign on the subject.
The campaign and conference aim to challenge the word-out narrative of women's oppression oppression under the Shariah and to present a clear vision of the true status, rights, roles, and general lives of women as defined by the Shariah and implemented by the Islamic Khilafah state. They will counter the numerous accusations against specific Islamic rulings related to women, as well as explain the basis, values and laws of the unique Islamic Social System and its positive impact upon women, children, family life, and society overall. They will also examine Western and ‘Islamic’ feminism and ideas such as gender equality and liberal freedoms that are used to condemn Islam’s treatment of women, dismantling the claim that they lay the path to women’s liberation from oppression. Through clear references to Islamic texts and history as well as the institutions of the future Khilafah state, we hope to aid Muslims and non-Muslims alike to truly visualize women’s lives under the correct implementation of the Shariah and how its application in different spheres of society would solve the multitude of problems that women face today.
