The Muslim Sisters Association organized the Muslim Woman Conference in Bucharest on July 24; approximately 160 people took part in this event - members of the Muslim community of Romania, representatives of Islamic NGOs and of NGOs activating in the field of women rights promotion.
The special guests were Famile Fatma Arslan (the first veiled woman lawyer in Holand), who spoke about the Muslim Woman in Europe, George Grigore, who spoke about the dialogue between Islam and Christianity, Anton Caragea, who focused on the topic of the Role of the Muslim Woman in International Relations, Alina Isac Alak, who made a presentation regarding Methodological Problems in Approaching Islamic Studies and Abu Al-Ola, with an intervention on Aspects of Woman Conversion to Islam. The presentations were followed by questions and by an open dialogue between participants. The association promises to organize similar actions in the future.

Thus, the activities of the association focus on the Muslim woman, her daily life, culture, tradition, religion, militating for the rights of women in the world, trying to initiate a permanent intercultural and inter-religious dialogue in the Romanian society, fighting against any kind of discrimination, against Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and fostering a model coexistence of the Muslim community of Romania in the society where it lives.
