The British Islam Conference took place in London, an eclectic conference showcasing a range of initiatives in the Muslim community and highlighting a range of issues it faces. Laura Marks, co-founder, and Akeela Ahmed, trustee, ran a session on some of the shared challenges facing the Jewish and Muslim communities and how Nisa-Nashim, working both at grass roots and at a policy level, are trying to address them, uniquely, through the women.
