FEMYSO Celebrates young anti-racist activists on IDERD 2021

On this International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, FEMYSO as a pan-European Muslim youth and student organisation, would like to celebrate the efforts all youth activists, leaders and voices in the fight against racism. 

 

FEMYSO is proud to be a core actor and ally of the anti-racism movement with our policy, advocacy and empowerment work, together with our Member Organisations. Our 25 years of existence bears witness to our effortless commitment to fight all forms of racism. Our numerous campaigns, projects, collaborations and publications are proof to this. And our most recent pride is a FEMYSO representative proposing and occupying the first role of the anti-racism coordinator in the Council of Europe’s Joint Council on Youth. Just like in FEMYSO, this role is committed to tackle Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, anti-gypsism and anti-semitism at a structural level. 

 

Our Europe today is unfortunately darkened by more and more incidents and forms of hatred, structural discrimination and oppression of ethnic and religious minorities on a daily basis. Being anti-racist should therefore not be a choice, but a prerequisite for all claiming to wish or work for a more just and equal world. Public and political hate speech against racialised groups must be tackled by their root causes and be treated with zero tolerance. Efforts to tackle racism, such as the EU Anti-Racism Summit, must be fully inclusive and ensure the representation of young people. There must be no cherry picking in protecting racialised groups. 

 

FEMYSO will always stay committed to working for a more diverse, cohesive and vibrant Europe. 

International Women’s Day

On the 8th of March 2021 FEMYSO is proud to join the global community in celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD). We are also proud to announce that on IWD 2021 and in the year of our 25th anniversary, we are launching our largest survey of Muslim Youth on Gendered Islamophobia ever.

 

The theme for this year’s IWD is #ChooseToChallenge, and it is in that spirit that we believe the time has come for a monumental shift in the way that our society is governed to ensure that it serves all those that exist within it. As Muslim youth we believe we have a responsibility to follow the example provided to us by our prophet Mohammed, and from the very beginning women’s voices have been essential in the journey of our religion. We stand on the shoulder of giants, who serve as an inspiration to us all. It is in that tradition that as an organisation we #ChooseToChallenge structures and behaviours that seek to denigrate women.

 

Our survey comes at a time of increased Islamophobia, where Muslim women are amongst the most discrimated groups in society. However, our survey also comes at a time of increased youth activism and youth empowerment, where young people are often at the forefront of bringing major positive shifts in society. The survey seeks to tackle the issues faced by Muslim women in the job market, with our ambition being to process the data collected and produce a report which will support our work in advocating against his specific and dangerous form of oppression. 

 

We call upon everyone fighting for social justice in Europe to join us in this journey by advocating against gendered Islamophobia at every single opportunity. FEMYSO remains committed to our mission of working towards a more diverse, cohesive and vibrant Europe.
