In relation to the film “Invoking Justice,” “Sisters In Islam” contextualizes the movement by women to be treated as equals as they are described in the Quran. What I am confused about is the difference in name from Women’s Jammat and Sisters in Islam?
While establishing seemingly self-explanatory points such as, “not Islam being oppressive but the different subjective practices and interpretations of the Quran,” this reading also provided me with more insight into the various ways violence is enacted on these groups. Not only through physical attacks but by undermining the work they do. I feel that it is imperative to differentiate but also name these attacks on this group as violence. Violence is defined as a destructive force. The devastation and violence of words is vital to conversations surrounding women’s liberation as well as advocacy in general.
