Description
T he Safra Project is a resource project working on issues relating to lesbian, bisexual and/or transgender women who identify as Muslim religiously and/or culturally (Muslim LBT women). The Safra Project was set up in October 2001 by and for Muslim LBT women. The issues faced by Muslim LBT women, and the (combination of) prejudices based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, religion, race, culture and immigration status that they experience, are unique and currently insufficiently addressed.
The word Safra is related to the words for 'journey' and discovery' in many languages such as Arabic, Farsi and Urdu. The compass in our logo and on our home page symbolises the aim of the Safra Project to be a resource and tool for Muslim LBT women on our journeys and discoveries in life. The Safra Project does not seek to provide ultimate answers or solutions, and is not a faith group. Our ethos is one of inclusiveness and diversity.
1. To empower Muslim LBT women to deal with the issues they face resulting from their sexual orientation and/or gender (identity) within the context of their ethnic, cultural and/or religious background.
