MA GENDER STUDIES, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

Where fourth-wave feminism broadened its definition and focused further on race and trans rights, there is still a lack of focus for women in developing countries, especially religious women.

Muslim communities are disproportionately affected by issues such as domestic violence, honour crimes and forced marriages.

With this MA in Gender Studies, I hope to further my research surrounding the legal system and its impact on Muslim women, and how policy can be improved to aid vulnerable women while remaining culturally sensitive.
