Global Campaigns on ‘Gender Justice’

Campaign

Islamic Relief is committed to build a just society and advocates for the rights of the women through its various initiatives. As an Islamic faith inspired organisation we affirm our commitment to uphold gender justice through developing ‘Islamic Gender Justice Declaration 2019’. The Islamic Gender Justice Declaration has been based on the Islamic principles and is been widely endorsed by global players working on women rights like; UN WOMEN, OXFAM etc. Islamic Relief is taking this declaration to the wider stakeholders within and outside Muslim community including government and soliciting their commitments and engagements in promoting the women rights. At the community level we are using this declaration to sensitise communities around critical issues of gender-based violence, early marriage and other forms of discrimination.

As a faith-based organisation driven by Islamic values, Islamic Relief is determined that the goal of leaving no one behind is central to all our activities; assessment, design, implementation, monitoring, research, advocacy/dialogue and beyond. The aim of Leave No One Behind pilot is to better understand the intersection of different dimensions of social disadvantage and its implications for the organisation’s humanitarian work. Our commitment is to ensure this and that we are especially concerned with meeting the needs and rights of the most ‘at risk’ members of society,
