With the development of new media, people are now able to access large amounts of knowledge easily. The search for gender equality in Islam has been greatly influenced by people’s dissemination of fundamental Islamic knowledge through new media sources.

On 8 April, join us for a focus group discussion seeking to address how new media acts as a platform to discuss gender equality in Islam.

Discussion questions
1. What are the differences between communicating faith and gender equality in online platforms and offline-conventional media?
2. How do you judge the credibility of religious information you acquire from the net?
3. How has the authority over Islamic discourses (including interpretations of Qur’an) changed with the Internet?
