Episode 6: The pointless obsession with how Muslim women dress

How to be a Muslim Woman

Sayeeda Warsi speaks to Welsh trade unionist Shavanah Taj about being a British Muslim woman. Shavanah explains her frustration that the conversation about Muslim women is so often focused on what women wear, obscuring other important issues that leaders within Muslim communities, and observers outside it, should prioritise instead. She discusses the importance of her faith in her daily life, and how it has affected her wish to get involved in improving society.
