Men in Charge? Rethinking Authority in Muslim Legal <br />
Tradition. <br />
<br />
April 6 2017, Musawah launched the Arabic edition of <br />
Men in Charge? Rethinking Authority in Muslim Legal <br />
Tradition at the American University in Cairo. The book <br />
critically engages with the juristic assumption that God has <br />
given men authority over women, and challenges male <br />
authority and gender discrimination from within Muslim <br />
legal tradition. <br />
I-‐nGEJ <br />
In the Jirst half of 2017 Musawah organised two <br />
‘Islam & Gender Equality and Justice (I-‐nGEJ)’ <br />
course, in Amman, Jordan and Cairo, Egypt <br />
respectively. <br />
The course helped build the knowledge and <br />
courage of participants from Egypt, Jordan, <br />
Morocco, Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon and Saudi <br />
Arabia to open up the public space for debate <br />
on Islam and women's rights, arguing for the <br />
possibility and necessity of equality and justice <br />
in Islam. <br />
