On 13 October, BIGD and Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) convened “Women, Power, and Political Orders in Muslim Society Contexts,” bringing together scholars, activists, lawmakers, and legal practitioners from seven countries to discuss women’s political leadership and influence during periods of political transition.
Across three sessions, the convening explored women’s roles in political movements, transitional justice, constitutional design, and the institutionalization of women’s rights. Drawing on experiences from different national contexts, discussions examined why women’s contributions to movements for democracy and justice often fail to translate into lasting political power, and what strategies and institutional frameworks are needed to ensure their meaningful participation in shaping emerging political orders.
