    Resource for Educators Resource FAITH IN US Educating young people on Islamophobia Faith in Us: Educating Young People about Islamophobia Introduction This resource has been designed for both primary and secondary teachers for use in the classroom to work with young people and educate about Islamophobia. The resource provides background information outlining the reality and impact of Islamophobia on both young people and wider society; starting points to help educators to ensure that they are creating the right environment for the work to take place; and activities for educators to run with young people. The activities have been developed in partnership with young people and tested in classrooms throughout the UK. The resource also provides guidance as to the steps that schools can take to help young people report incidences of Islamophobia and respond appropriately to both perpetrators and targets, in order to create settings where all young people feel safe and able to achieve. The aims of this resource are to: • Outline the moral and statutory duties on schools to engage in work on Islamophobia • Share good practice approaches and activities to educate young people about Islamophobia • Support schools to respond effectively to incidents of Islamophobia • Provide links to further sources of information and support This resource is not intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the religion of Islam. There are many good resources and organisations which provide this in line with the RE curriculum. We have provided links to some of these at the end of the resource. This resource was produced in partnership with young people in Tower Hamlets as part of EqualiTeach’s Agents for Change: Islamophobia programme which ran from October 2017- May 2018 and was funded by the Home Office Hate Crime Communities Project Fund.

  • Politics of Hijab in British Media Abstract the Purpose of This Paper Is to Probe Into the Instances of Discrimination Against Muslim Women in Britain
    Journal of Gender and Social Issues Autumn 2020, Vol. 19, Number 2 ©Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi Politics of Hijab in British Media Abstract The purpose of this paper is to probe into the instances of discrimination against Muslim women in Britain. The truth behind this discrimination may indicate the stigmatization of Muslim women who wear head or face covers (HWMW). Critical discourse analysis (CDA), through Van Dijk‟s framework (1991) is used to deconstruct the language of newspapers‟ headlines in electronic media. The qualitative study encompasses the headlines‟ pursuing force in political terms to construct the social order and people‟s mindset. The data is taken in the form of a corpus from various British newspapers during the years 2016-2017. The analysis determines the manipulative use of language to build the societal and political hegemony and direction of public opinion. The findings may also provide awareness into the discourse practices to depict potentially obscured and intense messages displaying and inciting racism in a multicultural society (Kelly, 2005). Keywords: Critical discourse analysis, discrimination speech INTRODUCTION The Arabic word hijab means to cover or to screen. Scarf is also used to depict the head covering of Muslim women. Usually, both words are used interchangeably, but the connotation of the hijab6 is specifically linked with Muslims while the scarf 7is just a piece of clothing. For the purpose of this paper, the hijab denotes a veil or headscarf which covers the hair of Muslim women and is also Muslim women‘s religious and cultural identity (Galadari, 2012). In the present day, the hijab is perceived as an Islamic symbol.

  • Hackedoff Thecampaign for a Free+ Accountablepress
    HACKEDOFF THECAMPAIGN FOR A FREE+ ACCOUNTABLEPRESS REPORT ON THE RECOGNITION SYSTEM 2018 PRP CALL FOR INFORMATION HACKED OFF SUBMISSION 8th October 2018 INTRODUCTION I.1 Hacked Off campaigns for a free and accountable media and, in particular, for the implementation of the measures recommended by Lord Justice Leveson to ensure that the press is subject to independent and effective regulation. I.2 At present the recognition system is not fully functional because the largest newspaper publishing groups have – as they have so many times before – manoeuvred, lobbied and connived to ensure continued lack of accountability for their industry. I.3 Nevertheless, compared to previous attempts at reining in the worst excesses of press conduct, we are much further advanced; it is therefore imperative that the framework which Parliament mandated following cross-party agreement, and which currently exists, is preserved. I.4 The PRP acts as a vital benchmark and independent assessor of whether a press self-regulator meets the Leveson criteria for independence and effectiveness: even IPSO, the body established by the press to bypass the Leveson system, still defers to those criteria as accepted standards for legitimacy and (wrongly) claims to be in substantial compliance with them. It commissioned a wholly inadequate “External Review” by Sir Joseph Pilling which claimed to analyse the extent to which IPSO had “adopted” the Leveson recommendations. The fact that IPSO felt it necessary to commission this inadequate parody of the PRP shows that there is now a generally recognised need for independent verification of the independence and effectiveness of press self-regulators. I.5 Moreover, the process of setting up a self-regulator and submitting it for recognition has now been successfully tested.
