Trevor Phillips: Muslim women valuable to Britain<\/h3>\n
\"\"THE Equality and Human Rights Commission today launched the first ever Muslim Women Power List.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Power List aims to celebrate the achievements of British Muslim women who have already reached the top of their chosen field or are on the fast track to success. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Commission is now accepting nominations for the list which will be revealed at Manchester\u2019s Lowry Hotel in March.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the first time an organisation has sought to identify and celebrate professional Muslim women in this way.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The project is piloted this year with a view to maintaining a network of women who can benefit from each others\u2019 experiences of forging a career.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: \u201cSociety is in the habit of putting labels on people.\u00a0 There aren\u2019t many groups I can think of who are more stereotyped yet less understood by the wider community than working Muslim women.\u00a0 I hope our first Muslim Women Power List will make the rest of Britain sit up and take note \u2013 many members of the Muslim community are making a valuable economic and social contribution to our future.\u201d <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Muslim Women Power List\u00a0forms part of the Commission\u2019s \u2018New Voices\u2019 strand of work, which aims to search for new audiences, who may often go unheard, and give them a platform to speak.<\/div>\n
