IIWCNZ is pleased that we have launched the poster series and resource booklet to all state secondary schools in Aotearoa.
These resources aim to introduce Kiwi students to the thoughts, perspectives, and experiences of a diverse range of Muslim women who contribute to New Zealand. They will serve as an initial source for emerging social scientists who may wish to research more about Islamic communities and the people within them.
This project has been a dream of IWCNZ for years now and was placed on hold due to the Christchurch terror attacks, but Alhamdulilah through preserving we were able to complete the project with collaboration with the Ministry of Education. This is the first such resource IWCNZ has provided for New Zealand secondary schools. It is a goal of IWCNZ to offer diverse and representative resources to students at all levels of education.
The event took place in Wellington on the 10th of March and Alhamdulilah it was a successful launch. All secondary schools have also now received the resources. The resources are also available on our website: www.IWCNZ.org.Nz
