agenda

Organised by: the British Council in partnership with the European Policy Centre and the European Muslim Network.
With: Shada Islam, Senior Programme Executive at the European Policy Centre (EPC), Malika Hamidi, Director General of the European Muslim Network, Wassyla Tamzali, Author and Former Director Women's Rights at UNESCO, Sajjad Karim, MEP, and Lorella Zanardo, Producer and Director of ‘Il Corpe delle donne'.
The integration of European Muslims is the subject of intense debate across the European Union and within Europe's Muslim community. Discussions get especially intense - and often acrimonious - when it comes to the integration of Europe's Muslim women, with many policymakers and politicians denouncing the decision by some women to wear the head scarf or burqa and the prevailing perception of Muslim women as victims of a repressive religion.
Venue: Hotel Stanhope - Rue du Commerce 9 - 1000 Brussels
