Ep. 234: Negotiating Past Myths About Muslim Women

For centuries, Muslim women have been enveloped in a web of myths and misconceptions—portrayed as voiceless, oppressed, or bound by tradition. These narratives, often perpetuated by misunderstanding or prejudice, fail to capture the rich diversity, strength, and resilience of Muslim women worldwide. In this conversation, we’ll unravel these myths, spotlight the powerful voices of change-makers, and explore how negotiation—whether personal, cultural, or societal—can bridge gaps, shatter stereotypes, and foster a deeper appreciation for the true stories behind the headlines.

In this episode your host, Cindy Watson, as she has the opportunity to interview Dr. Daisy Khan. Dr. Daisy Khan is the founder of the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality & Equality (WISE), a network dedicated to peacebuilding, gender equality, and human dignity among Muslim women.

She has been honored with numerous accolades, including being named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People and one of Huffington Post's Top Ten Women Faith Leaders, among many other prestigious awards.
