"Not all women feel that their voice is being heard. Not all of them feel they can overcome the obstacles in their way to play a full role in their communities. Muslim women, in particular, have told us that they often feel excluded, sometimes by their own communities and sometimes by those outside it – and that this was particularly the case after 7th July atrocities. They feel that there are not enough Muslim women in public life – and the picture is not much better in politics either. And they are right."
