Violence is never ok. #COVID19 is not an excuse for violence. Report any abuse or violent behavior. Act to keep your community safe.

Women face particular vulnerabilities during disease outbreaks. Continually needed care like sexual & reproductive health services and commodities are often overlooked in times of crisis.

UNFPA’s guidance note on ‘Protecting Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, and Promoting Gender Equality’ during the COVID-19 pandemic

As we continue to take precautionary measures to keep ourselves safe from #COVID19, we also understand that Sexual and Reproductive Health needs do not come to a halt in a crisis situation.

These are the family planning services available in Maldives currently. 1/2

During public health crises, resources may be diverted away from water, sanitation, and hygiene services, contributing to reduced access to hygiene and sanitary materials, especially for women and girls.

Women and girls are disproportionately affected during emergencies. Making the COVID-19 response gender inclusive is of the utmost importance.

Health crises like the #COVID19 pandemic affect everyone, but they impact men & women differently, often exacerbating gender inequality.

It is crucial that our response to the #coronavirus outbreak takes the needs of women into account.

So why and how did verse 4:34, rather than other relevant Qur’anic verses and values like mawaddah wa rahmah, become the foundation for the legal construction of marriage?

#FreeOurFamilyLaws

But qiwamah doesn't appear at all in the Qur’an; wilayah does but never as endorsing male authority over women.

Re: marriage & marital relations, 2 otr terms appear numerous times in Qur'an: ma‘ruf (common good) & mawaddah wa rahmah (love and compassion); eg verses 30:21; 2:187

Defenders of male authority point to Qur'anic verse 4:34...

(See translation and excellent analysis by @kecia_ali in ‘Muslim Sexual Ethics: Understanding a difficult verse, Qur’an 4:34’)
http://www.brandeis.edu/projects/fse/muslim/mus-essays/mus-ess-diffverse.html

Dr Ziba: Qiwamah & wilayah "as constructed by classical jurists and reflected in current laws and practices, have played and continue to play a central role in institutionalizing, justifying & sustaining gender inequality in Muslim contexts."

#DNAofPatriarchy #FreeOurFamilyLaws

Wilayah denotes the right & duty of male family members to exercise guardianship over female members (eg fathers over daughters when entering marriage contracts) and grants fathers priority over mothers in guardianship over their children.

#EndMaleGuardianship #EqualCitizenship

In our Islam & Gender Equality and Justice (I-nGEJ) courses cc @SistersinIslam, Dr Ziba Mir-Hosseini breaks down these two terms:

Qiwamah denotes a husband’s authority over his wife, his financial responsibility towards her, and his superior status and rights.

Ever heard of qiwamah and wilayah?

This week, we'll share resources from the background papers' coverage of jurisprudential (Qur’an, fiqh, hadith), historical, philosophical, sociological, and legal aspects of qiwamah and wilayah.

#DNAofPatriarchy

The authors trace how male dominance came to be inherent in Muslim legal tradition, show how it is produced and sustained in contemporary times, and show how the tradition can be reformed in order to promote #GenderEquality and justice.

#EndMaleGuardianship

Social distancing for #COVID19?

Have you read 'Men in Charge? Rethinking Authority in Muslim Legal Tradition'?

5 yrs ago, this collection of #IslamicFeminism papers critically engaged with & challenged the assumption of male authority over women within Muslim legal tradition.

Ministry will be providing Social Protection Services as usual, and our Shelter facilitates will function during the days the Government offices are closed.
