Musawah is committed to raising the visibility of our movement and the issues we work on.

Building a global movement requires raising the visibility of Musawah issues and the work of Advocates for equality and justice in the Muslim family. In addition, popularising the Musawah Framework and collectively sharing our linkages and knowledge are essential. All this needs effective, accessible communications, which must include a commitment to: translations; an emphasis on clear language; sensitivity to information and communications technology access in resource-poor contexts; inclusivity in the form, structure, and content of Musawah communications; respect for confidentiality; and positive messaging that conveys the belief that change can happen and that people can be active agents in their lives.

Focus Areas through 2014

• Provide portals and platforms that enable the Musawah community to engage in dialogue with each other, which includes redesigning the website using Web 2.0 and integrating other new media into our work.
• Develop and circulate a multi-media Toolkit that provides Advocates with key messages and language that they can use in their national level advocacy.
• Work to actively engage Musawah Advocates in generating and disseminating Musawah knowledge.
• Produce Musawah Vision, a quarterly e-newsletter for the Musawah community.

Outcomes

• Processes to ensure effective multi-directional communication and sharing of knowledge and linkages between all in the Musawah community are established.
• Musawah knowledge building, outreach, and international advocacy work is supported, with a special focus on raising Musawah’s visibility as a movement and making Musawah analyses accessible.
