HOW MISOGYNY SHAPED THE MUSLIM WORLD – One Arm Tied Behind the Back

For centuries, Muslim societies have moved through modernity with half an arm tied behind their back, that arm was women. Their potential, creativity, leadership, and wisdom remained constrained, leaving societies to advance without the full force of half their population.

In this video, we explore the roots of misogyny in the Arab and wider Muslim world:
- How pre-Islamic tribal norms shaped patriarchal structures.
- How early Islam attempted reform and upliftment of women’s rights.
- How centuries of patriarchal jurisprudence and cultural absorption transformed these reforms into constraints.

The modern echo of these practices — where women’s potential is still underutilized in private, public, and professional spheres. Yet, change is underway. Across the Muslim world, women are reclaiming their voices, leading nations, pioneering science and technology, and reshaping societies. From Saudi Arabia and the UAE to Iran, Indonesia, and Tanzania, women are proving that leadership, imagination, and intellect are not bound by tradition or gender.

This video argues that the true prosperity of Arab and Muslim societies depends on embracing women’s full potential — not as beneficiaries, but as co-architects of the future.
Join us as we reflect on history, faith, and modernity, and consider how empowering women can transform not just societies, but the destiny of the Muslim world itself.
