The Muslim Motherhood is an advocacy and education organisation for Muslim women through pregnancy, birth and early motherhood — built for a system that too often treats faith and background as a risk to manage, rather than a context to respect.
We exist because Muslim mothers are failed by a maternity system that too often treats their faith and background as a risk to be managed rather than a context to be respected — and because the evidence for that failure is now impossible to ignore.
That safe, dignified, culturally-respectful maternal care is a right, not a courtesy. That Muslim women are not a problem to be solved but a community to be served.
The disparities documented time and again are not inevitable — they are the product of choices, and choices can be changed.
Giving Muslim maternal experiences a clear, unapologetic public voice in the places it has been absent.
Practical, rights-based tools and plain-language guidance on pregnancy, birth and the wider landscape of maternity care — so women understand what they're entitled to and what to expect.
A growing directory connecting Muslim mothers with doulas who already understand their faith and cultural needs — currently in progress.
A body of resource, evidence and advocacy that keeps growing. We hope to contribute to the research, policy and public conversations that shape maternity care — bringing evidence, testimony and lived experience with us.
