MWL Initiative to Advance Girls’ Education in Muslim Societies
It will be launched through the International Partnerships for Education in Muslim Societies platform at a global conference titled ‘Girls’ Education in Muslim Communities: Challenges and Opportunities,’ scheduled to take place on January 11-12, 2025 in Islamabad, Pakistan.
According to the MWL, the conference, under the patronage of Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, will forge global partnerships among governments, Islamic institutions, civil society, and international organizations.
It will bring together senior religious scholars, intellectuals, media leaders, and activists from around the world to build a collaborative network for advancing girls’ education.
The MWL initiative is rooted in the principles outlined in the Charter of Mecca, particularly Article 25, and principles 22 and 23 of the Charter of Building Bridges Between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects. These principles, endorsed at two major international conferences, emphasize unity, education, and progress within Muslim communities.

To further strengthen the initiative, the MWL will implement resolutions adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states, in line with Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed between the MWL, the OIC, the Islamic Fiqh Council, and the International Islamic Fiqh Academy. These agreements, formalized in Mecca, outline concrete steps to promote education and foster meaningful cooperation.
Highlighting the MWL’s commitment to empowering Muslim populations, the conference will dispel misconceptions about Islam’s stance on girls’ education.
