Hello, my name is Samina Ali and I'm the curator of the International Museum of Women's Around Breaking Online Exhibition, Muslima. Muslim women's art and voices. Muslima is a global multimedia exhibition that features the artwork and stories from Muslim women from around the world. The Muslima exhibition empowers Muslim women to speak for themselves through their artwork rather than being defined and depicted by others. But despite Muslima's beautiful content, powerful message and recognition by major media outlets, funding Muslima has been a struggle. When you consider that nearly one quarter of Americans claim that they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor, it's easy to see why requests for funding have often been denied. I've been working on this issue for over a decade now and I can tell you from personal experience that the belittling stereotypes about Muslim women have not less than since 9-11. Unfortunately, these demeaning attitudes have increased to the point where many people accept stereotypes as fact and Muslim women are being openly discriminated against. The best way to combat these persistent images is by presenting Muslim women in their full, rich and complicated reality. This is exactly what the Muslima exhibition does. Please consider donating as little as $5. By donating to our campaign, you'll help us fund Muslima through its final stages and create a whole new gallery about breaking stereotypes. Give today to help us bring about a more equitable and peaceful society. Thank you for your support.
