Power List Celebrates Achievements of Professional Muslim Women

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) today launched the Muslim Women Power List.  The Power List is a celebration of Muslim women within the working community in Britain who have already reached the top of their chosen field or are on the fast track to success.

The Commission is now accepting nominations for the list to be revealed at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester on the 24th March 2009.  Any British Muslim woman over the age of eighteen and in employment may apply - nominations may be submitted by or on behalf of an individual.  Nominations can be submitted until 16 February 2009 via http://www.thelist2009.com/

The Muslim Women Power List 2009 forms part of the Commission’s ‘New Voices’ strand of work, which aims to search for new audiences, who may often go unheard, and give them a platform to speak.
