Muslim Women in SPORTS

The collection of news and articles on Muslim women and sports around the world. I decided to create the blog after I started doing research on the subject and recognized the lacuna of a central repository of collected materials about Muslim women's involvement in physical activities. -Sertaç Sehlikoglu

MWIS's Note

MWIS blog has been actively sharing news from across the world for the last six years. Quite unimaginatively, over half of those news say how Muslim women/girls kick/beat/tackle/lift/break stereotypes & boundaries. MWIS blog urges the sports journalists for more creative titles.
