Women's Health Project

The Women’s Health Project contains resources and information on women’s health as well as community resources for everyone on the Community Portal page. Click HERE


The women’s health sections are intended to provide Muslim women with reliable information about their reproductive and sexual health. We have put this page up in a lean format initially and will continue to add article, sections, and resources, insha’allah.


Sections will include introductory discussions on topics ranging from taking care of our bodies, our sexuality, birth control, to violence against women from a specifically Muslim women’s perspective with links to resources such as The Women Our Bodies Ourselves website, the Muslim Women’s League document on Sex and Sexuality in Islam, and other useful websites such as Kecia Ali’s Muslim Sexual Ethics site.


Please read Debra Mubashshir Majeed’s Pamphlet on Marital Rape in Islam. We are interested in translating the document into different languages and preparing a publication ready pdf for download.  If you have the necessary language skills and the interest. Please contact us at info@progressiveislam.org


If you are a health professional or a knowledgable lay person and would like to help out on the Women’s Health wiki or have a project you would like us to facilitate, please contact us at info@progressiveislam.org

Excellent Project

Assalaamu walaikum,


What an excellent project! As someone who became interested in progressive Islam efforts as a direct result of exhibited negativity surrounding Muslim women's sexuality/health, I find this to be a fantastic project. I wanted to congratulate you!


I also wanted to offer my help in any way — if there's anything I can do to support the project (write, edit, compile, fundraise, publicize, anything!), please do let me know. This is worth getting out there.


Best regards,
