Muslim Leadership & Social Justice: Advancing Equity in a Divided World
Session Overview
In an era of rising global polarization, the absence of Muslim voices in leadership and policymaking has profound implications for social justice, equity, and inclusive governance.
This timely conversation will bring together Muslim leaders from across sectors and continents to explore the systemic barriers to representation, the impact of underrepresentation on policy and perception, and strategies for building more inclusive leadership pipelines.
Together, we’ll unpack how identity, power, and faith intersect with leadership—and how empowering Muslim voices is essential to building just, equitable societies.
