What
we do
In the first phase of the Safra Project we researched and identified
(some of the) key needs and issues relating to Muslim LBT women in the
UK, with a particular focus on access to appropriate social and legal
services. In the course of this research we held a Focus Meeting with
social and legal service providers in London in April 2002 and a Conference
with Muslim LBT women in Manchester in June 2002. The findings of the
research are published in a report entitled 'Initial
Findings - Identifying the difficulties experienced by Muslim LBT women
in accessing social
and legal services'. From January 2003 until February 2004 we had been
running an interim phase during which we continued to provide information
and raise awareness on the key findings of the report. We also moderated
and expanded an online network of Muslim LBT women and provided consultancies
on relevant legal and policy issues in order to tackle (multiple) discrimination
and (interrelated) prejudices. In addition, we undertook a research project
on Sexuality, Gender
and Islam, which is now published on our website. Currently, Safra has become primarily an online resource. Collecting and profiling the progressive changes in Muslim communities across the globe, particularly on gender and sexuality. Also, connecting our stakeholders through our online e-list to one another and resources that are local to them. This has been our current focus on no funds and lots of voluntary time and skills from the management, thanks. |
