In the first episode of Re-imagining Care, we’re joined by sports writer Shireen Ahmed and hear from coach Binni and participant Mona. We talk about the importance of safe spaces where we can freely express ourselves, and the challenges we face from wider structures we live in.

A Merciless Light - Covid 19 in Newham

Maslaha takes a creative approach to tackling long-standing social issues affecting Muslim communities and challenges systems of inequality. We seek to change and challenge the conditions that create inequalities for Muslim communities in areas such as education, gender, criminal justice, health, negative media coverage and a continued climate of Islamophobia. 

Maslaha's range of projects means we understand the multiple identities communities hold, and the multiple deprivations that can exist. Through our projects, we initiate and create spaces for people to contribute, shape, and give a voice to their ideas and actions.

Our new series The Future Is Muslim brings you comedy and conversation. The podcast features sketches, followed by conversations, which explore issues around belonging and identity and the social and political pressures that are placed on Muslims to conform.
