Muslim Women's Empowerment
Dr. Nyla Ali Khan is an advocate for Muslim women empowerment. Her research centers around. Dr. Nyla Ali Khan was raised in a secular Muslim home where she was encouraged to speak of the “liberation of women” and of a culturally syncretic society. Khan grew up in a world in which her parents, Suraiya and Mohammad Ali Matto, were fiercely proud of their cultural and linguistic heritage (despite the onslaught of an enlightenment modernity), and honored their Islamic heritage, faithfully observing religious practices, while maintaining unflagging conviction in a pluralistic polity. Khan was taught that Islam provides women with social, political, and economic rights, however invisible those rights are in our society.
Today, Dr. Khan believes it is imperative that women assert the rights guaranteed to them by Islam and focus on the rebuilding of a greatly polarized and fragmented social fabric to ensure the redress of inadequate political participation, insistence on accountability for human rights violations through transitional justice mechanisms, reconstruction of the infrastructure and productive capacity of Kashmir, resumption of access to basic social services.
