Empowering Muslim Women in Education and Workforce: Led By Foundation Leads the Way
The representation of Muslim women in education and the workforce has been a long-standing challenge. The Led By Foundation, India’s first leadership incubator for Indian Muslim women, is changing this narrative. Founded by Dr. Ruha Shadab, a Harvard graduate and Women Leadership awardee, Led By is committed to increasing the presence and impact of Muslim women in professional spaces. Their mission is to empower, inspire, and nurture a new generation of leaders.
Why Muslim Women Representation Matters in Education and the Workforce
The importance of Muslim women’s representation in education and the workforce cannot be overstated. Increased representation not only fosters a more inclusive environment but also challenges stereotypes and paves the way for future generations. According to the Qur’an:
“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.”
— Surah Al-Hujurat 49:13
This verse underscores the importance of equality and representation in all spheres of life, including education and professional fields.
