Bodily Autonomy & Economic Independence


 

The Bodily Autonomy & Economic Independence campaign is an Alliance of Inclusive Muslims in support of UN Women's Generation Equality Action Coalition for Bodily Autonomy and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. In partnership with six different organizations in Malaysia, Pakistan, Tunisia, Kenya, Burundi and U.S.A. we have collaborated on a series of short videos. The key point of this project is to highlight that without the girls and women's right to their own body, they will be deprived of education, and therefore for economic independence. And unless women have economic independence, they will never have any say in society.
