Islamic Relief (IR)’s mission is to eradicate poverty and end human suffering. To achieve this, it is crucial that issues of injustice are given a major focus, along with the reasons injustice persists. Within the category of injustice is gender injustice, which IR is prioritising within this paper. “Gender” is the social term which identifies personas female or male. It suggests roles, characteristics, behaviour and activities which are seen as appropriate for men and women in a given context. The term “sex” describes the biological distinctions between men and women. This document focuses on the central components of IR’s Gender Justice [...]

Toen het jaar 2009 van start ging, was het offensief op de Gazastrook net begonnenn. Op de dag van de aanval had Islamic Relief een noodhulpactie gelanceerd. In Nederland was de betrokkenheid bij de slachtoffers in de Gazastrook groot. Dankzij de onmisbare inzet van onze vrijwilligers en de bijdrage van vele initiatieven in het land, verliep de actie SOS Gaza zeer succesvol. Met de inkomsten uit deze actie kon Islamic Relief Nederland niet alleen een substantiële bijdrage leveren aan de noodhulp, maar is zij tevens in staat om mee te werken aan de wederopbouw van de Gazastrook. Behalve noodhulp, stond 2009 [...]

During a period of considerable change, 2009 saw Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) come to the end of a successful three- year strategy, and, building on the aspirations and ideas of the whole organisation, look ahead to a new set of objectives for the next ! five years. In 2009, we marked our 25th year of working with vulnerable communities around the world. Islamic Relief has come a long way since we opened our first once in the United Kingdom in 1984 and received our first donation of 20p. Today, we raise £58 million a year, supporting 360 development projects. With our [...]

We, leaders of religious institutions and faith based organizations (FBO), believe that health is a universal value held by all faiths and a universal right for human beings. Our faith traditions, spiritual values and commitment to social justice lead us to believe passionately that families should not suffer needlessly because they lack access to health services. We acknowledge the evidence that the health benefits of access to education and services, and thereby averting unintended pregnancies, can be substantial. Each year, lack of family planning services and education in developing countries results in an estimated 600,000 newborn deaths; 150,000 maternal deaths from [...]

Climate change is the defining human development challenge of our time. It threatens to stall poverty reduction and hard-earned progress made in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. In the countries of South Asian region, including Pakistan, the early signs of climate change are already visible. Out of the last 12 years of the last century, 11 were the hottest of the last 400 years where temperatures in Pakistan reached 53 degree C and in Finland 37 or so. These changes are already threatening the lives and livelihoods, health and well-being of millions, especially the poor and vulnerable, who lack the financial, [...]

Mali is one of the poorest countries in the world, and that’s exactly what I kept reminding myself when I visited the country with an Islamic Relief USA delegation earlier this year. But no matter how hard I tried to prep myself mentally. There was nothing that could have prepared me for experiencing life without electricity and running water. It was a different lifestyle. Even the international airport in the country’s capital and most developed city, Bamako, didn't have running water in the airport’s only bathroom. And that was just the beginning.
