MUSLIM VOICES FOR DIVERSITY DIALOGUE

After two years of work, MAGIC has organised a closing event, titled Muslim Voices for Diversity Dialogue, at the European Parliament on Monday 20th March. 

The event included the Secretary of State of Belgium for gender equality and opportunities and diversity, Sarah Schlitz, the MEP Pierrete Herzberger-Fofana, also co-president of the anti-racism and diversity group of the European Parliament (Ardi), and Shada Islam, editor-in-chief of EUObserver Magazine, among representatives of the project’s Consortium, researchers, and representatives of civil society networks working against racism and other types of discrimination.

It was the occasion to present the recommendations and proposals stemming from the media monitoring and debates of MAGIC to expand the diversity of Muslim women's voices in the Media.

It also included the presentation of the results of 15 months of monitoring and analysis of the journalistic discourse in a selection of printed newspapers of Belgium and Spain and a debate on the involvement of civil society in shaping media narratives.

Coalition MAGIC 

MAGIC has also fostered a Coalition of Muslim women, communities, and journalists eager to continue the work of the project at a European level. This work will be done in accordance with a European Road Map to Curb Anti-Muslim Gender Stereotypes and to Promote Inclusiveness of Muslim Voices in Public Narratives, a document discussed and approved in the run-up to the final event of the project.
