Take the Side Door

Muslim women have long been used to using the side entrance to the mosque, but now there's a campaign to gain equality of entrance for women.  


The Side Entrance Project was begun by Hind Makki of Chicago on Tumblr and Facebook.

People are invited to post photos of the different entrances and worship spaces for men and women at their local mosques.

Thank you to Women's eNews for featuring a report on this project.

The first step toward change is shining a bright light on inequities.
