Welcome to Nisa-Nashim
Nisa–Nashim is a national network, which brings Jewish and Muslim women together to inspire and lead social change. We create positive experiences, and understanding about people from different backgrounds, particularly Jews and Muslims. Our local groups, coupled with our strategic partnerships, provide a unique voice when advising government bodies, policymakers and others, on how to promote social cohesion. We believe in; the ability of women to build cohesion and positive change, the positive contribution of the faith groups, the corrosive nature of prejudice against ‘Outsider’ groups, and celebrating similarity whilst recognising difference.
