More quotes by Ayesha Imam

We must establish that even when abuses are perpetrated in the name of Islam, they can and must be challenged.

We have to critique both externally and internally.

It's less about religious identity and more about aspirations for personal security, law and order, anti-corruption and social justice.

We insist on being able to reclaim and contribute to international human rights discourse rather than allowing it to be seen as only western.
