Islamic Feminism Today
Stéphanie Latte Abdallah, historian, political scientist
Stéphanie Latte Abdallah
Twenty years after the concept of Islamic feminism was coined in the Iranian context and immediately disseminated worldwide, it is fit to try to assess this ongoing polemical, and often neglected debate. The Islamic feminism’s claims of social justice and of absolute equality of the sexes are supported by sacred texts. In her talk, Stéphanie Latte Abdallah takes stock of the issues, the evolution, and the perspectives opened up by this concept in the present.
